Flash Fire 386 February 16, 2014 Share February 16, 2014 (edited) I personally think Dr. Pepper served hot soothes the throat fantastically. It tastes great too. A hot bath with eucalyptus oil works wonders too. Edited February 18, 2014 by Flash Fire 1 My oc - http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/flash-fire-r5698 "Take my love. Take my land.

fimdash 1,196 February 16, 2014 Share February 16, 2014 I just eat those Halls cough drops. I kinda eat them like candy cause they're so good xP sometimes I'll gargle salt water if the Halls aren't helping much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootalove 10,689 February 16, 2014 Share February 16, 2014 My favorite sore throat remedy is, usually some cough drops that can cure my sore throat in minutes with a good night sleep. Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtore 2,770 February 16, 2014 Share February 16, 2014 (edited) Gargling with salt water is a fallback for my bad sore throats. I suppose tea is as well, but I drink tea regardless of whether I have a cold or not. Edited February 16, 2014 by Celtore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bojo 1,383 February 16, 2014 Share February 16, 2014 I've heard Coke and Dr Pepper served hot helped, but didn't know it was legit! I'll experiment next time I get a cold (hope that doesn't happen anytime soon though). Well, I usually drink hot water and add natural lemon juice (a legit lemonade without sugar), and heck, you can almost feel how this beverage kills the virus. Also, chicken soup always helps too Eeyup... this signature was made by: @Sparkle Speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katana 298 February 16, 2014 Share February 16, 2014 Chicken noodle soup? It's especially nice during the cold months. Also, if the amount of weakness/tiredness that it results in doesn't quite excuse you from work, suggest to your boss that you're probably contagious and could make your whole workforce sick. Of course, it doesn't help me because I can work from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleipnir Rising 115 February 17, 2014 Share February 17, 2014 For a sore throat, I gargle alcohol-free mouth wash. For a cold, I take green smoothies, herbal teas, nasal irrigation, and Ibuprofen (if I get a fever). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rift enchanted 380 February 17, 2014 Share February 17, 2014 I usually use halls cause their the most convenient. Sometimes I'll just drink lemon hot water, if it gets really bad I have to use my inhaler.

Deesinn 393 February 17, 2014 Share February 17, 2014 Sinus Tylenol for me. It stops my nose from running and dries it up, which stops the nasal drip that gives you a sore throat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dddrgn 450 February 17, 2014 Share February 17, 2014 Sore throat? I usually just get something warm to drink, like apple cider. "You must never give in to despair.

Something Floaty 1,334 February 17, 2014 Share February 17, 2014 As counterintuitive as it may sound, I have found when I have a severe sore throat (from a cold or other illness, not just from yelling a lot after a day on the roller coasters), what makes it feel better is having a cigarette. I smoke menthols, so I figure it has something to do with that. Either way, one cigarette usually makes my throat feel much, much better.

Judgement 445 February 17, 2014 Share February 17, 2014 For me, when my throat is dry and sore, I feel like sucking on a cough drop helps a lot. It allows for more saliva production and that helps with making my throat less sore and dry, along with drinking water, but that is obvious. Tom V.S. Boulder: Who will win?

Lightning Bliss 1,674 February 17, 2014 Share February 17, 2014 A nice hot bath with the best body gels I can get my hands on, dump it in there and make lots of bubbles. Have a cup of hot tea with honey on the side, light up a scented candle and relax, let the pain of the sore throat/cold just drift away from my mind. 1 I'm just a silly little alicorn, trying to get by in the fandom ^^ The Lightning Bliss Show Lightning Bliss DevianArt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kallisti Imani 40 February 18, 2014 Share February 18, 2014 Lemon tea with a liberal amount of honey (and, if there's any on hand, a dram of brandy). I also like Hot & Sour Soup when I am feeling under the weather. Gotta sweat it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Envy 6,192 February 18, 2014 Share February 18, 2014 The last time I had a sore throat I just went and got antibiotics. it was so bad I couldn't eat or drink anything. However, I also remember eating frozen yogurt and that seemed to help me. Next time I get a sore throat like that I will definitely be getting frozen yogurt, and I can't complain because it's yummy! =P As for colds, well, a regular cold is nothing for me. My nose is always stopped up to some degree... I don't even remember what it's like to not have it at least slightly stopped up, to be honest. When it gets really bad as it did around a month or so ago, and I couldn't breathe, I tried drinking hot apple cider and pretty much spent most of the days taking showers whenever the water heater refilled the hot water. =/ Although, I also had to go get antibiotics for that, too... Those seem to be the only things that actually work. Everything needs more woodwind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mephala 2,633 February 18, 2014 Share February 18, 2014 (edited) Probably hot water with lemon and a little salt. It tastes fantastic and it also helps quite a lot.
