Anyone got any good idea's for sore throat remedies?

Ive had a bad cold - then it started with what I thought was going to be a chest infection - but luckily it wasnt. However, bad cough has left me feeling hoarse and now I have a stupidly sore throat.

It hurts constantly.
I feel like I have been swallowing glass and finished it off with a few razorblades.

It hurts when I breathe [open mouth] It hurts when I swallow [Unless its cold water] It hurts when I talk [and even when I dont] :lol::lol::lol:


Im taking medicine for my cough - and I have some disolveable anestetic sweetie-type things for my throat. Which arent working!!!!

:'(:'(:'(:'(

Please Please someone help?
Any idea's at all?
 
Honey and lemon with a couple of paracetamol always works for me,
 
Lemsip made with honey and a good glug of brandy or whiskey. Let it cool down a bit if your throat is raw and then get it down. It may hurt to swallow at first but once the honey and booze start working... :)

Just make sure you don't take this on top of your medicine, don't want you to OD!

soluble asprin is supposed to do the same thing...I'd go for the Lemsip and honey though - has worked in the past for me!
 
If you dont fancy TCP then gargle with a saturated salt solution.
(warm water with LOTS of salt)

probably doesnt taste as bad as TCP, but its not great. It does however work.
 
ohh and if that and/or the TCP consistently fails and your throat re-occurs, then go to the Docs and arrange to get your tonsils out. Worked for me
 
Belive me when I say that it will help;) Just don't spray it on your tongue because it will suddenly go numb:lol:
 
Adele, any sort of numbing medication sprayed directly onto the throat SHOULD have some effect. Given the amount of lecturing and singing I do, I constantly battle sore throat issues. I find that Chloraseptic works decently, but I'm not sure if you have that in the UK or what it's called there.

I'll add that if dry throat is the problem (or contributing to the problem) there's a throat spray called Entertainer's Secret that primarily contains glycerin and keeps the throat moist. It's a god send.

Also, if it's available in the UK, I find that Throat Coat tea helps quite a bit. I down a lot of it during rehearsals. During performances, I switch to all things alcoholic. ;)

:lol: Damn I know I shouldnt be tee-total.
When I used to sing, I found the best thing for me was lemonade - warm. I'd not had any because I couldnt comprehend the thought of anything "hot" on my throat.
However - at 11pm I went to get some...and altough its still sore, its not half as bad as it was :lol: although that could be something to do with the codine ive taken too!!! :thinking:


Thanks for all your idea's guys.

Same here.

I suggest eating about half an onion chopped so you can spread it richly on bread, eat 3 bread slices with onion and thin slice of cheese (it won't be so sharp, but it should still get to your nose and help your throat after 2-3 days).
Eat 1-3 times a day, depending on how sore you throat actually is.

Warm mint tea with honey is good after that to get rid of the onion smell (which doesn't really bother me).

You might want to gargle with salt in water (about 1-2 tea spoons per cup, more is better here but it gets difficult to keep in one's mouth). Do NOT eat anything for at least half an hour after that.

If those two don't help in 2-3 days, ask a doctor asap.
 
Iv worked in a pharmacy and they always say gargle dispersible aspirin, have a lozenge containing glycerin as it attracts moisture to the back of the throat, and u can also use a throat numbing spray if u want.
hope u feel better soon!:)
 
other than the above you may just have to let it run its coarse ,,,,sorry course . hope it gets better soon .
 
Lemsip with honey and ground ginger. You may well get the sweats but it should be worth it.
 
Honey & Lemon, plus wee bit of whisky if you have it.

Plus paracetamol of course.

Nothing else works better :thumbs:

Jagermeister :naughty:

Guaranteed to sort out any sore throats/colds/blocked noses. Always store in the freezer and the drink will warm you as you knock it back :thumbs: :D
 
Had a few Jager bombs myself last night. Didn't have a sore throat, but then, prevention is key.

I'm going to suggest this to you too, i've had (got) a bad cold too, i've had no sleep for the past 2 nights because it hurts when i swallow, i've had god knows how many strepsils extra and beechams max strength which helped not at all. I bought that ultra chloro whatever this morning, sprayed my throad and with in 10 minutes i could swallow without pain, i'm looking forward to a better kip tonight (if the sniffels don't keep me awake)
