I'm in desperate need of some home remedies to soothe a sore throat. any suggestions?!


Question: I'm in desperate need of some home remedies to soothe a sore throat. any suggestions.?
i am 7 months pregnant and have the worst cold in the history of colds (at least it feels like it). i need some remedies that i can try to help soothe my sore throat and keep the coughing at bay, and i need it to be from things found in my kitchen. i have no vehicle (i'm visiting family and flew) and therefore have no way to go out and buy medicine.

i'm currently drinking a remedy i read about that consists of 8 ounces hot water, 1 tablespoon honey and 1 tablespoon apple-cider vinegar, and it seems to be helping a bit. i was just wondering if anyone has a tried and true method that always works for them.?

thanks!Health Question & Answer


Answers:
I always drink something warm, like Green Tea. Especially the Honey-Lemon, yum yum yum!
Or any type of tea can soothe a sore throat.
you know, mint or some sort of "Halls" can help that too, i'm not sure if you have any.
Cold water CAN help a sore throat to a degree.

i'd suggest warm tea :)Health Question & Answer

Well for immediate relief, i usually swallow a teaspoon of honey. it coats my throat and soothes it for a little while, and tastes great. I can also keep doing that as needed without any adverse effects. Another solution is a soothing drink my mom always made me when i was sick:
a few slices of lemon
a few slices of fresh ginger
honey
hot water

it tastes great and you can just keep adding hot water to your mug.

Good luck and hope you feel betterHealth Question & Answer

For a sore throat of any kind, I find Clove Oil and Oregano Oil to be very effective. Clove Oil has a way of soothing pain caused by tooth ache or even a sore throat. And Oregano oil is an extremely powerful anticeptic,antiviral,and antiparasitic. If you get them, make sure it is the 100% PURE!!! I use the "NOW" brand. Its great. But Oregano oil is extremely hot! I dilute it with olive oil.Health Question & Answer
