Anybody got any remedies for a sore throat. I've tried all kinds of lozenges but nothing is working. I'm in agony with it now

Thanks

Shug xx

Difflam spray or gargle from the chemist. If you arent allergic take ibuprofen to reduce the inflammation too. If no better in 36 hrs get some antibiotics.

Dequacaine lozenges are the best to use too. Use them for mouth ulcers etc also.

And good old salt water. Warm.

Zinc tablets can help in the future...hot lemon and honey drinks as hot as you can take it.

Gargle with soluble aspirin and take paracetamol. Don't swallow the aspirin

Honey is brilliant for sore throats....either have a teaspoon every now and then or have it in hot water with some lemon and a bit of sugar

I've always struggled with bad throats - the best thing I've always found to help with the pain (although wont clear the infection) is ibuprofen, and as others have said above gargling with aspirin & honey in warm water.

Also gargling with salt water helps, and will help with clearing the infection, tastes yucky though!

Hope you feel better soon xx

Dissolvable - then it will disperse in your body faster.

Thanks everybody, I'm going to try ALL your suggestions tomorrow when I can get to the chemist

Any of the suggestions with warm water are good but an added benefit is to thoroughly dilute a spoonful of salt in there too. Wont taste nice (honey can take the edge off) but it's really good! This is for gargling though.. DO NOT SWALLOW!

Do not try all of them at once or you will overdose

I have had one for two days now and a banging headache. Ibuprofen, spoonfuls of honey and loads of orange juice. Hopefully will be over the worst tomorrow,
