I got sick yesterday morning, and i stayed home from school today because of it. I have a really bad scratchy sore throat. Like those ones where you constantly have to cough and your throat feels dry and scratchy. Thats' what I have and I want to know how i can get rid of it asap because I have a dance to go to tomorrow night. Anyway have any home remedies I can try? Thank-you..
xcheerbabex108 answered Saturday January 28 2006, 9:59 am: You can try gargling with salt water, drinking tea, or eating soup. Also, make sure you *drink fluids!* (try drinking pepsi or coke warm, its carbonated) Good luck and feel better! ♥
Krupple answered Friday January 27 2006, 12:22 am: Chicken soup lowers the inflammatory responce.
You can also get some spray that will numb your throat.
Also, just be perky at the dance to make up for your voice. It will probably be too loud to talk much anyway. [ Krupple's advice column | Ask Krupple A Question ]

hope it works.

If you have any zinc lozenges with vitamin C, they may help as well. Halls Daily Defense is what I always use. [ ncblondie's advice column | Ask ncblondie A Question ]

orphans answered Thursday January 26 2006, 4:11 pm: Have lots of water, get a good night sleep.
And lay down alot, gargle (sp?) with salt water ( but table salt in the water) Make sure you take all your medicine (if you leave in the US zicam i thinks that how you spell it, works wonders) and dont be overly active. GET WELL fast<3 [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
thisismydance answered Thursday January 26 2006, 3:16 pm: rinse your mouth and gargle with warm salt water.
that breaks up all the stuff in there and makes the scratchiness go away a little. take a hot shower. and put a hot wash cloth over your face. breath deep... and do the salt water thing like 2-3 times an hour. take care!
