What do you do for a sore throat? (1 Viewer)

[Wingfrost]

I’m sick and I’m always a very big baby when I have a sore throat, I’m just wondering what you guys usually do for when your throat is sore or what you recommend. I’m going to ask someone in my family to go pick me up some popsicles and I’m trying to drink water.

I just eat icecream so the sore freezes 😅

I drink hot chamomile tea with honey and lemon, wear a scarf and warm clothes (especially socks), and that usually heals it if it's not too bad and if it doesn't, I get some meds from the pharmacy or go see my doc. Hope you feel better soon <3

As koku said, warm tea with honey really helps. Aside from that, try inhaling steam and keep yourself warm.

Warm water/tea with lemon. Inhaling steam is good too; whatever you can do to another part that is connected to the throat (nostrils and ears) is good.

I take a tablespoon of organic honey a few times a day. Istg it does wonders. my grandma always swore by it so i tried it and it worked. turns out it works because its antibacterial. you just swallow it whole and let it dissolve in your throat. its so wonderful

short of that, cough drops. even the cheap kind help
also alka seltzer cold helps

it's disgusting, but gargling with warm salt water is extremely effective. if that's too much, warm steam in any form helps. so tea, a good bath, etc.

I sleep a lot. Drink lots of water and tea, I find soup helps heaps. Avoid spicy food. Rice soup is the bee's knees for sore throats imo

I have a cup of melted/caramelized sugar.

Tastes god awful but it helps almost instantly.

Honey and lemon tea, with a hint of ginger.
Gargle with warm salty water, 2 to 3 times a day
