Best ways to clear a sore throat?

[Boyevyye De 244]

Basically, I have a cold and I am not sure how to help myself. So I suppose I will ask you folks.

 

... How do you guys help a sore throat? 

[Sommar 1,289]

Try drinking warm tea or suck on a Ricola losenge. These two thinks help me when I get a sore throat.

@Sommar

I don't think they sell Ricola here.

I don't really know of any remedies that can help a soar throat, but talking as little as possible is a good start. I know that honey can help I think. You'd have to check, but I swear I remember something somewhere saying honey can help soar throats. I think lemon curd helps as well. Get well soon though.

You may be right. Any hard candy can help with a sore throat, but Ricola works best.

Does that mean I have an excuse to eat candy?

Lemon Curds?

Yes it's an excuse to eat candy. (:

Yes it's an excuse to eat candy. (:

*Eats copious amounts of Shipuchka.*

 

... I don't think that would help actually.

I heard lemon juice helps. You should do that.

That... Sounds bad... The lemon juice part.

My granddad said that lemon juice is supposed to help. haha

Some sort of home remedy.

Well, except you just did. 

[Sugar Pea 2,682]

Well, except you just did. 

Touche! I changed it back, however. haha

[Boyevyye De 244]

You did? Not on my screen at least.

What I do is drink as much fruit juice as possible, then eat some thing spicy, then take a multi vitamin before bed, and try to have a really good night's sleep. All those combined and then boom it's gone when you've woken up next day. Hope this helps.

Spicy you say? I never heard of that being a thing.

It's gonna sound weird, but gargle some warm saltwater. It'll provide a little relief, although I'd still recommend some painkiller as well.

[cuteycindyhoney 13,308]

Hot tea and honey. My mom swears by it, and it does help.

[Golurk 468]

Honey. Single best thing I've ever used. Just drink it right out of the bottle. It'll get the job done. 

[Sazama Ichida 2,367]

Halls Lozenges. They don't completely kill the pain but they definitely help ease it that's for sure.

[Pixie Doodle 144]

I get soar throats faaar to much. Been prone to it since I was little, but I have learnt a few things that do help.

• Herbal Teas with Honey
• Lozenges for when it's really soar.. (I use Tyrozet tablets. Numbs everything x3)
• Ice Cream

Along side that, its just vitamin C and rest. :3

[MLPFanatic34 3,234]

I usually drink warm salt water and suck on plenty of sore throat lozenges, but I also take Vitamin C, rest, and drink a lot of hot tea.

[Celtore 2,770]

Gargling a warm glass of salty water usually numbs my throat right up when it's sore. It's not exactly the most pleasant experience, but it works.

 

Also like many have said, being well rested and taking naps are good ways to tackle a cold and to feel a lot better.
