[JustSia]

And drink as much water as humanly possible.

[wonderwoman1]

either soluble asprin or radoxin vitamin c tablets dissolved in water...and as justsia said, plenty of water.

[jiggy-gb]

As wonderwoman said, soluble aspirin, put extra water in the glass and gargle with it before swallowing. And go get yourself some ice lollies!

[tradey]

boil some water let it cool as much as possible

[Rock'n'Roll]

boiling water on a few cloves of garlic,maybe a little honey to sweeten it if wished.lovely

[n00dles]

bobtheturkey's remedy every time.......and don't go buying expensive throat lozenges, according to the "experts" any boiled sweet will get the saliva juices flowing and will help ease your throat.......

Hope yours doesn't last as long as the one I had last week.. 3 days it was painful, longest cold symptom I've had (generally 1 day).....

Wish you well xXx ☺

Natural is best - Hot, hot water, with freshly squeezed lemon juice and tiny bit of honey or sugar to sweeten. Up the intake of Vit C and paracetamol if you need it.

Don't take drugs! Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory, and paracetamol just kills pain, it doesn't affect the problem, it masks it.

Gargle with salt water (boiled water with salt dissolved in it, then a litle cold water added) to kill any infection.
Drink hot water with honey and lemon.
Take Echinacea from Health Food shops which will help boost your immune system.
Take a large dose of Vitamin C (but not too large as it will give you diarrhoea!)
Steam! Hot water in a bowl- put your face over it, with a towel over your head and inhale the steam. It is very good for throats.
Rest. Don't overdo it. Eat healthy food and get an early night!

Best cure for a sore throat is.... chocolate =)

Seriously, go and buy a bar of really dark chocolate (it must be dark chololate - 80%+ cocoa, yum). Then eat one square when you feel your throat getting sore =)

Don't know how this works but I promise you it's great. I'm a singer and I swear by it!!!

Get well soon x x x
