I have SUCH a sore throat, and I know there is bugger all I can take, the pharmacist(sp?) gave me Strepsils the lemon ones but they dont do a thing, my cough mixture that he gave me doesnt even help my cough, Im in agony here 
If I go to the doctor they will charge me $20 just to tell me I cant take anything stronger. So does anyone know of any safe remedies for a extremly sore throat? Ive tried Honey Lemon and Vinegar, but nope nothing... 
Any help would be so much welcomed ------------- |

A salt gargle is good to help kill the bugs.
Hope you're feeling better soon ------------- Mama to DS1 (5 years), DS2 (3 years) and... http://alterna-tickers.com" rel="nofollow">

Hot water with a bit of apple juice is good to sip - drinking lots, as hard as it is, will help clear the bug out of your system. ------------- |

I hate fizzy drinks but when my throat's really bad, the only thing that soothes it seems to be a diet coke - go figure! ------------- Andie |

| You poor thing Sheza, I had the same thing at about 7-8 weeks, lemon and honey drinks constantly, and dissolved the odd panadol in there too when I started getting migraines. Hope you get better soon! |

Cool thanks girls, I guess its more lemon and honey drinks for me tonight and I will chuck a panadol in there too and hopefully that will help take the swelling down in my throat.
Ahh so sick of coughing and stuff  ------------- |

My favorit is fresh ginger root, about 2cm, thinly sliced and put in a pot with a cup or so of water. Bring to boil. (I usually make a pot or so and use heaps of ginger - say 6 cm with a litre of water). Once it's boiled pour into a cup and add the juice of a lemon and a teaspoon of honey.
Ginger is an anti-inflamitory so great for an irritated throat and it feels so nice drinking. ------------- Angel babies Mar '04, Oct '08 and Sep '09. |

Maybe you do need to go to the Dr. As I said before I ended up having bronchitis & suffered for 2 weeks before going to the Dr & they gave me antibiotics, but I started feeling better before I started taking them, but if I'd gone sooner I may have started to get better sooner. It may be more than a cough/cold you have, it sounds pretty bad, you poor thing!! ------------- My babies: R (9),G (7), J (5) http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">
