Sore throat

[gaz1234]

What the best way to get rid?

[Centurion07]

Cut it out. Only way to be sure.

But if you're not man enough for that, I just load up on Strepsils, throat spray and ice cream. Dunno if that helps get rid but it certainly relieves the pain. Sore throats suck.

Prevenstion is better than cure..but inthe meantime...
Get some sage, and amake a tea.
put in some lemon juice and honey
gRGLE WITH THIS MIXTURE WHILE STILL HOT
THEN DRINK

[boobles]

Hot pure lemon & honey.

Gargle with warm water with soluble aspirin . 'Coats' the painful area . Also good for mouth ulcers . Certainly works for me . Advised by a GP....

[BarryP]

Gargle with diluted TCP.

This. It's f*cking hideous, and you stink, but it does the trick - twice a day until it goes. Also, freshly squeezed 1/2 lemon + spoons of honey to taste, not forgetting the crucial ingredient of a spoon or two of glycerin & hot water.

Tyrozets to dissolve in your mouth, again, not very nice, but between these three, you should see it off.

Tough it out till it goes. It's probably a virus so not much is going to make it go any quicker. Lozenges or the like to soothe it in the interim.

I also found ibuprofen handy when I had a sore throat as it reduced swelling so made it more comfortable to swallow.

[gaz1234]

yea blew the tyrozets already..

[Tonsko]

By the way, do you smoke? I used to get them all the time when I did. Now I don't, I don't.

[gaz1234]

nope.
but i did get hammered a week ago.

[alfa phil]

if you get a nasty cold with it good luck, just got rid of mine (sore throat)lasted 3 weeks

[Happy82]

Spicy curry or hot chilli kebab.

You might have a sore ringpiece the following morning though, so I recommend a toilet roll or two in the fridge.

Get more rest and listen to your body.

Good malt whiskey. At least a double before bed. If it burns slightly on the way down its working.
