Tips for getting rid of sore throats etc

[Maro]

Please feel free to share you tips for helping 'cure' things like sore throats, sneezing, fevers, etc etc.

I tend to put a bit of marmalade in my tea because the oranges [or other fruits mixed vvith them] really help out my throat and help clear my nose out a bit too if it's stuffed up.

Apple juice!
though thats mostly because i hate water and its the only way i get enough liquids xD

[Maro]

Really? o3o anything else?

I always feel like water hurts my throat more when it's sore, so I opt for thicker liquids.

Maaaan. I have like, chronic tonsilitis, and allllwaaaaaaays get strep throat. Someone could have it on the other side of town and I'd still get it. haha.

I like hot lemon with looooots of honey when I have a sore throat. The honey coats the throat really nicely, and hot=happy. C:
Tea is nice. The heat is nice on sore throats, but sometimes it agitates my throat more; usually a peppermint or chamomile is okay though. It helps to breathe over the steaming cup too. It like makes your throat less dry or something like that? Clears out your nasal passages? I have no idea. It just feels nice.

And then there's the rinses from hell.
Warm salt water is okay.
Vinegar is gross.
Ginger is kinda okay (I guess you could drink ginger tea too, but it's too much for me. haha).
Hot sauce.
Gargle with them all (individually) and hope it kills everything that is in your throat. aww yis.

I have never heard of gargling hot sauce!
That sounds just terrible!!

sounds like a form of torture rather than a remedy x.x

[Ryvvi]

all the most effective remedies are tortures ;-;

OH MY GOD, I have such a bad sore throat and get them a LOT. If it's the weird liquidy sore that feels like you have like, water in your throat sucks really bad? Honey, that feels really good on your throat and helps make it better cause pollen or whatever. Probablyshouldn'teatasmuchasIdotho. lol.

That's definitely a good idea but right novv it's more of a dry sore unfortunately
