How can I cure a sore throat FAST?!


Question: How can I cure a sore throat FAST?
It's agony, I've tried lozenges but they're absolutely crap, even the antiseptic ones that make your tongue all numb

Answers:

I'm a singer, I know how bad it is to have a sore throat.
I always make a glass of hot tea and stir in about a tsp. of cayenne pepper.
You don't taste the spice hardly at all and the acid is sure to annihilate any bad bacteria causing the inflammation.
My sore throat is usually gone by the end of the glass.



If your sore throat is accompanied by symptoms of a cold or flu, dissolve soluble aspirin in water follow the dosage instructions on the packet) and gargle it to the back of your throat before swallowing each mouthful. Aspirin reduces the inflammation which is making your throat sore, and gargling with it gets the aspirin in direct contact with the inflammed throat tissue). Don;t take aspirin if you are asthmatic.

If you have a sore throat that is not associated with a cold or flu then you should get it checked out by your doctor.

I am a nurse.



Don't swallow the salt water cuz it'll make you sick (literally!) Gargling salt water will have an antiseptic effect.
I tend to drink hot honey and lemon. Boil the kettle, put in the mug either lemon squash (real lemon is better, i just buy jif lemon in a bottle to save squeezing lemons) and a massive tea spoon of honey. The lemon will cut through the congestion and the honey will coat your throat and hopefully make it feel better. It'll also keep you hydrated. If you wanna buy posh honey, mannuka honey has antiseptic properties.
I got a stinking cold too at the moment, feel better soon!



Soar throat is caused by dryness in air. During winter time the snow takes all the moisture in the air. Consider humidifing your room by using a humidifer or boiling some water and living the steamy water in your room before you sleep.

Gaggle some salty water every 4 hours.

Take some lousenges. Small sweets in the pharmacy section. Consider taking candy with you.

In server cases take ibrufen 200 to 400 mg every four to five hours. You dont have to eat when taking ibrufen.



This works well: Dissolve two dissolvable paracetemol tablets (solpedene or similar are good) in warm water gargle for about 30 seconds, then swallow, the pain killer works quite quick, repeat every four hours, inbetween time, swallow dessert spoonful of runny honey as and when you need.



No don't swallow the salt water, just gargle it. Try a big spoonful of honey, too.
