Hi! Ive woken up this morning with the sorest throat! I don't have any lozenges, Ive tried gargling salt water and its still sore. Any ideas? Ive heard a spoonful of honey helps?
Most probable reason for your sore (sorest!) throat could be infection. If it is not cleared with your salt water, honey is another option that has a soothing effect on the throat. If nothing works, go for antibiotics.
I have a sore throat right now as well. Boil some water, put in honey and lemon juice, its really good.
Honey and lemon are the best cure as was said but if they dont work get antibiotics since it could turn septic and you realy dont want that!
I am regular victim of this problem and nothing seems to cure it.Time will cure it-2-3 days.And antibiotics are not given to cure sore throat,they are given to protect your lungs so that they don't get infected and cause you more trouble.
just because you have sore throat does not mean you need to see a doctor, i get sore throats many mornings
warm liquid with honey is an excellent suggestion. if it persists more then a few days, go see a doctor.
try some tepid tea with some lemon juice or if you prefer a little honey or warm milk yuckkkkkkkkkk but it will coat your throat so making it a lil easier to swallow sorry you feeling horrid hope it heals fast for you
Do the warm drink scenario and then try and fall asleep as fast as you can so that you wake up and it's gone (hopefully) then you don't have to really deal with it!
Hot toddy - honey, lemon and bourbon, mix with hot water - works like magic If you are running a fever go to the doctor.
funny that, i have had soar throat for a couple of days, woke up today and felt like someone was was strangling me!
Thanks for your advice guys! I woke up feeling even worse today, I have to go to work which seems like a mission at the moment LOL. Ill be going to the doctors asap! Until then its cold & flu tablets for me!
