My throat is so sore

**Shann** · 01-07-2008, 12:04 PM

I woke up yesterday w/ a sore throat, I've got no other cold/flu symptoms just a dry irritated throat and I'm ready to be back to normal now.

I can barely talk (which will make Luke happy) or swollow and since it's so dry I keep coughing.

I hate taking medicine but I think I'm going to have to try some tylenol and keep sucking on throat lozengers. Anyone have any other remedies besides tea and honey?

That's how mine started too Shann and I've been sick for what? About 2 weeks now. There Lemon Joney TheraFlu seemed to help me the most.

((Shann)) I am sorry that you are sick. I hope that you are feeling better soon.

Shann, take a lemon roll it around ,cut in half sprinkle some salt over it and squeeze it down into your throat, it really works..

SO has the same thing now too, his is going on over a week.

Whenever I get a sore throat, I gargle with salt water. I just pour some salt into a glass from the salt shaker, add some warm water and swish it around to dissolve it, then gargle a couple of times, spit it out. It tastes nasty but it works.
I do this several times a day and it takes a couple of days but it always seems to kill the bugs. It works better than any spray or cough drops.

(((HUGS))) sure hope you feel better soon!

Patron. And if it doesn't make it better, it will make you not care that it hurts!

thanks everyone

I took some tylenol earlier and it seems to have helped. I will def be drinking tea and honey when I get the energy to get it and patron once Luke gets home to get it down, he had this great idea to put all the alcohol on top of the cupboards and even w/ the step stool I fall short and I'd really hate to break an almost full bottle of patron. I'd seriously start licking it off the floor if that happened that stuff isn't cheap LOL!
