stall a sore throat?
14/f
okay, so heres the deal. i always know when im about to get a sore throat, i feel my throat acting weird a few days before, and i get chapped lips. well i got that sign yesterday and its a little worse today, but im not totally sick yet. i have something important to do saturday, so i need something to stall my sore throat until late saturday or something. ive been drinking alot of orange and grapefruit juice for the vitamin C and ive been using chap stick for my lips and everything. i need something to stall/eliminate this cold or whatever it is, so please, if you know anything that will help let me know asap. home remedies are great also! early answers are appreciated

i just sort of skimmed through the answers below me looking to see if anyone said this, but i don't think any of them did.
okay, orange juice + a sore throat = pain.
it burns your throat because of some type of acid that's in ti.
milk is also something you shouldn't drink.
it makes the mucus thicken. yes, i know that may sound gross, but you'll live.
i don't know if you've ever heard of this, but there's something called Chamomile tea. it helped if your throat is irrated/hurting.
directions:
steep 1 teaspoon dried chamomile in 1 cup of hot water & strain it. then let it cool to lukewarm and gargle as often as you need to.
vitamin C tablets are also good to take because it builds up your tissues to fight the germs that are making your throat sore.
throw away or wash your tooth brush in the dish washer because it keeps the germs in there & everytime you put it in your mouth, that's where the germs go -- to your mouth.

Hey. When I have a sore throat I do the same as you, drink LOTS of orange juice which helps a lot. Get lots of vitamins in. Drink hot soup which will soothe your throat and honey may work too. Also, try eating really healthy. Something like a salad. Lastly and very important is that when you have a cold you have to get lots of rest! Go to bed early and try to sleep fairly late the next day. I really hope this helped and good luck! =)

There's not much more you can do besides take your vitamins, drink lots & lots of fluids, take some Theraflu or Sudafed (both work wonders) & get some rest.

When I get sick I take vitamin C in pill form (up to 1000 mg a day) and take airborne. Airborne (if you havent seen the commercials) has vitamins and herbs that help fight off colds, and you can take both even after you've gotten sick and it will help you get over it faster. You can buy both at your local drug store or grocery store. I hope this helps! Feel better! <3 Dana

Ive heard honey helps it coats the back of your throat so it stops it from irratating even further just keep up the vitamin c to fight off any sickness that is coming on

I dont really know much about this.
but the juice is a good idea.
whenever im getting sick, i always take a zinc supplement.
its over-the-counter and it def. works for me.
i just take it once a day
hope i could help :]

when i have a sore throat i tend to drink a lot of tea. i drink it hotter then I would normally, but let it go down slowly. It is best if you dont add any sugar to it. Just drink it straight.
(sorry if you don't like tea.)
