So today I woke up

with a really bad sore throat. I thought it would go away but it's just more annoying. Anyone know of any good home remedies to make it go away?

Awe... I'm sorry. Try:
soup
lots of OJ for Vitamin C
suck on throat drops
Tea with honey is really good too and soothes your throat

Also, try and take it easy and if you can go to bed early.

Feel Better!

it's not really a home remedy - but slurpees, ice pops or frozen things.....

for me FREEZING my throat always helps when it hurts....tends to make it numb!

feel better!

Take a teaspoon of raw honey and squeeze a lemon wedge over it. Keep repeating till you are out of lemon juice. This works so well for me. Feel better soon! Chat Icon

I sleep with a scarf on. It sounds weird but, Sometimes if I do at the frist sign of a sore throat it works.

I had that over a week ago & unfortunately it turned into a nightmare of a cold in which I just got antibotics for.

Definately drink lots of tea with honey & lemon...
Ricola drops

Gargle with warm salt water
tylenol
ice pops & plenty of liquids

do you have a humidifier? i find that our bedroom can get very dry from the heat in the winter time so when DH or i get scratchy i turn on the humidifier while we sleep and we're 100% the next day!

I was just going to say humidifier too. And I found an awesome tea experience... Lipton Bedtime Story Decaf Herbal Tea. Just breathing in the steam made me feel so much better!

This has been my remedy for years.... even before Kristina

Mix Honey and Lemon in a shallow cup til you have a syrup consistency... Take a few tablespoons every couple of hours when you feel your throat raw.... It works WONDERS!!!!!!

On the advice of my mother (who read something in an emailChat Icon ) I do the same thing and sprinkle some cinnamon in it too. It just happens to do the trickChat Icon
