Good ways to soothe a sore throat?
Question:
Any help appreciated!
Answers:
Hello! Sorry you're not feeling well!! Hopefully you'll feel better soon...Try some of these steps to relieve your throat soreness:
1.) Try using Chloseptic! That works really well for me, personally!!
2.) Suck on a piece of hard candy or medicated lozenge every so often. Use Halls (or a different brand) with menthol/eucalyptis.
3.) Gargle every few hours with a solution of 1/2 teaspoon of salt dissolved in half a glass of warm water.
4.) Drink plenty of warm beverages, such as tea (with or without honey) and soup.
5.) Use a vaporizer or humidifier in the room where you spend most of your time.
6.) Try not to smoke--because it will only further irritate it!
7.) Avoid eating spicy foods.
8.) Take Advil, or Tylenol for the pain...or both.
Vick's Chloraseptic
Ice cream helps as does soup.
Squeeze half a lemon and half an orange into a mug. Add hot water, a tot of whisky and honey to taste. Stir well and drink whilst hot. Yummy and very helpful for a sore throat!
Gargling with hot salt water helps. I also like to drink tea with honey and lemon when my throat is sore.
My 93-year Old Grandmother... who has since Passed... had a Perfect Remedy for a sore throat.
Take a Table spoon of Vinegar. and A Table Spoon of Water and a Teaspoon of SALT! MIX THOROUGHLY !
Gargle with that EVERY.. two hours..!
Thanks, RR
i use boots dual action lozenges
Honey- preferably either comb or set eaten off a teaspoon. You could also wrap a warm water bottle up in a wee blanket and hold it to you neck. Hope this helps. x
Man juice
Have a tablespoon of honey every half hour.
Suck a fisherman's Friend and please don't read anything else into this answer...it's a very strong cough sweet.
A nice cup of tea
Ice cold orange juice will help....It will burn a bit at first but it does help to calm the thoat down...Also if you like hot chocolate (add some milk as well) it's extremely soothing to the throat....Cepacol (not sure of the spelling) works well for the medicine part of it..Hope you feel better....CAT
Before gargling with hot water, mix it with two drops of dettol in a cup of such water. Eat less food stuff tonight as your throat sore may be due to junk and in-digested food. If aggravates, use mild antibiotic with vitamin B and C.
gargle with salt and lukewarm water...if it still doesn't go away, squeeze half a lemon in lukewarm water, add a lil honey and drink it. dont waste your time with hard candies coz they're just sugar and menthol with no real medical benefit. natural cure is better.
Warm salt water gargle. Don't swallow any of it
ive always found that gargling lemonade is great and then spitting it out if you have any mucus it draws it from your throat also the reason that you are coughing could be that if you have a cold this could be running from your nose to your throat try putting vaseline up your nose only a little it stops mucus from running down your nose try it it really does work hope you get better soon x
cold water will usually help stop a cough and soothe throat, cold drinks, ice cream, take painkiller - if ur over 16soluble aspirin two tabs in half glass water gargle then swallow or yr usual painkiller, lemon honey and glycerin cough mixture from pharmacy helps soothe throat, u could also check with pharmacist for a cough remedy such as benylin after ascertaining if u have a dry or chesty cough.
mix hot water, honey + a spoon of glycerin, tastes nasty but does the trick! ice cream works better than anythin.
Honey and lemon tea can help as can hot chocolate both are tasty
get well soon
