| I am so very sorry you are feeling bad. What about a good ole' fashioned hot toddy. Whiskey, lemon juice and honey - that combined with a warm salt-water gargle (gargle first) should have you feeling better - or at least not caring as much. Get better soon, my friend. |

| Sore throats are the worst! My dad swears by gurgling with warm salt water. I prefer to suck on something cold, like a popsicle, and whine about it.

| my doc is a firm believer of the gargle w/ warm salt water remedy I hate it! I get that Tylenol throat stuff for my kids and they seem to think it helps. It's a bright blue type liqued. Hope you get to feeling better soon Breny! |

| Hot toddy for the win! The last time I had a sore throat (back in the winter) my dear boyfriend's dad set me up with one and I swear I felt 5x better by the end of the night and 10x better by the next morning!

Chloraseptic spray or the little wafers that dissolve on your tongue, motrin 200-40 mg, and alternate hot and warm fluids. Hot tea, or coffee, ice water. If that fails Amoxicillin 250-750 tid . Call me in the morning ps a lime in a coconut,yum | |

| You poor girl! I hope one of the above remedies work for you. I was going to suggest salt water gargle, but others have. The hot toddy sound interesting! *HUG* Get well wishes to you!

| Well I swear by TheraFlu but you have to catch it when it first starts and will wipe it right out. I also love the chinese Hot N Sour Soup if you know a good place that really uses the spices and it will open you up if you have a stopped up head or helps with a sore throat. That's the best one I know of and it usually works for me. Hope you get feeling better.

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | Ah Breny I'm so sorry you're sick. For the last couple weeks I've had a NASTY sore throat (I couldn't swallow or talk). It wasn't strep, but the antibiotics they gave me worked, so I'm glad that your's have started working too. I hope you feel 100% very soon! also, some throat spray might help you for a quick-fix if it starts bothering you and it's not time to take your medicine.
