Thorned Rose 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2006 Try Comvita Fortacold Herbal Elixir. Good for all ailments including sore throats, colds, coughs, upset tummies.... Plus it's all natural and cheap to boot. Don't know where you can get it locally but you can order it straight from their website: http://www.comvita.com/products/manuka-honey-propolis-elixir/H3889. They also have throat lozenges And no I don't work for them, just used it myself over the years and found it to be really good which is a bonus for me as I'm immuno-compromised.

If this has been going on for 7 days or more, you need to see a doctor. It can be signs of things like mono as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dagoth Nereviar 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2006 I'm not an expert at stuff like this, but when ever I have bad sore throats, and I seem to get them alot, then I just suck on "Stepsils" (Sp?) and they don't cure it, but they help the pain for a bit.

AnGeL KiSS 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2006 Did you try seeing the doctor? Have you ever tried green tea? It might help, and also try honey with water. (if honey with water wasn't mentioned already because it sounds like honey tea is honey with water O_O) But my brother does that, I think, but if you drink some chinese Lern cha I think it'd cure you too!

matto 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2006 Drink lots of water and get lots of sleep. Immune system to the rescue!! And drinking herbal tee is always good, and if you're coughing a lot some cough medicine (and/or cold medicine) won't hurt. But drink a lot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got something simple and neat for soarthroat, just chew on some raw cloves of Garlic......if its too strong ,mash the garlic up and put in hot water, drink it........will help with the throat cause garlic is a kind of natural antibiotic,and its natural so its great except for you getting garlic breathe.....hehe.......or you can try eating foods cooked with garlic, might be easier on the tongue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
