Tis the season of sore throats! What's your favourite cure for this annoying problem?

I caught a cold, and now my throat is so sore that I can hardly swallow anything. I've tried to drink lots of tea and I've taken ibuprofen but it's not helping. I'd love any helpful suggestions. :)

- 1 tsp honey 4x a day, I mix min in tea, because i hate the taste of honey by itself. It helps tremendously.

Thanks for the tip! I've tried honey before, but I only took it once a day, so it didn't help. I'll try four times a day. :)

- Try to get raw honey, or honey that at minimum doesn't contain HFCS, that will completely defeat the purpose.

Hot lemon honey tea and if that fails sucking slowly on peppermints. DONT CHEW just suck =)

, go to a doctor. If it gets serious, the ER will help. Basically, even some pharmacy drugs will help and reduce pain. Also, try chloroseptic spray, and you can get it at any Walmart, CVS, or any local drugstore.

Honey. Helps with coughing too.
