Sore throat-what do you turn to?
 

My throat is on fire...cough drops don't help and Havana Club 7 year old don't touch it either.

Gargle warm salt water

Tea with honey. I don't drink hot tea, except when I have a sore throat.

Re: Sore throat-what do you turn to?
 

I do hot tea with lots of lemon, sugar and a little bit or vodka in it.

My anatomy professor gave a recipe last semester for something like heating up 2 cups water with 2 lemon halves in it to a boil and reducing it to 1 cup. Then add honey to taste. I used it a few times, but I thought that was better suited for sinus/cold type stuff than just strictly a sore throat. I'll try that as well.

Tea with honey!

Bourbon lemon and honey

Honey heated with tequila and add lemon.

Warm tea and honey works magic on a sore throat. A shot of Jack couldn't hurt either. :D

Jack, Jim, George, or Evan can help you out.

I like to gargle with salt water. And bourbon doesn't hurt either. ;)

Same as others, warm tea, honey and vodka or tequilla

Re: Sore throat-what do you turn to?
 

I used my anatomy professor's suggestion of water/lemon/honey (as I don't have any tea in the house at the moment) and that didn't help. Hope I don't have strep, but I sure have the symptoms.

A shot or two of your favorite dark spirit (scotch, rye, bourbon, rum, etc.), a tablespoon or two of honey, a pat of butter. Put them in a pint glass. Fill with hot water from a tea kettle. Stir to melt the butter and dissolve the honey. Drink hot (or at least warm).

Ibuprofen?

I'll add my 2 cents:

For years I use to be a big proponent of the honey/lemon tea until I discovered the drink that always seems to work, for me (and my family/friends).

Peppermint Tea.

No sugar, milk, lemon, or honey. It's different if you're not use to it, but ....

There is no better drink for a sore throat! IMO. :)

Peppermint Tea.

Re: Sore throat-what do you turn to?
 

Hot tea with honey as others have said. Then cloroseptic.

Re: Sore throat-what do you turn to?
 

Hmm. What's the reason behind the butter? I've heard of this before.

Re: Sore throat-what do you turn to?
 

Taste.

Get some cheap scotch with a high alcohol content and gargle and swallow that, should kill most anything that is bothering you...
