Sore throat bug

[GroveLaneMan]

Any one else suffering from this interminable sore throat ? 10 days now and it's driving me mental !!

Have you tried any anti-inflammatory medicines like advil or aleve? They are a combination of pain relievers and anti-inflammatory so it will make you feel better and also reduce the swelling associated with sore throat.

Gargle with soluble aspirin - always works for me

This, of all complaints one can get, is the Devil's own concoction. So so painful !!

And try gargling with warm salt water too.

Honey... either taken as is with a spoon (if you can manage it that way) or add it to a hot drink.

Salt, citrus and event anything soluble that creates a "fizz" won't be comfortable. Avoid alcohol, chocolate, spicy food etc. Makes you feel crap but it doesn't last forever!

Don't do honey with cold water, potentially very dangerous

Turmeric is a good throat soother, very effective

Sorry to break this to you, but it goes on for weeks.

You think it has gone, then it comes back.

It's been going around ED for a while now :(
