Sore Throat

Two days ago, I did feel uncomfortable with my throat,but I don't really go and bother it. Just drink more water and BINGO .... in the midnight, I did felt extremely pain at my throat,especially when I drank water and swallowed saliva..it was pain.
So the next morning, I quickly have a cup of salt water followed by AdemSari (it is a kind powder for constipation,sore throat & heatiness - bought from Medan). I bought quite lot of packets of Adem Sari back to Sibu and everyday I am having 3 packs of Adem Sari after my meal.
Till now, my throat still feel pain and I can't eat and drink well.Even with porridge, I still feel the pain when I swallowed the porridge.In my whole life, I never got such a terrible sore throat.
Tonight, I tried to drink 100+ and Coke with salt ,hope it did helps to cure the pain.
And my kind MIL make me a cup of herbal tea after dinner.

Anyone mind to share home remedy for sore throat...do share with me here. Thanks !!

Poor you... I found honey quite useful, I always take a spoonful of honey whnever I feel discomfort and it helps! I gargle with Listerine instead of salt water... very soothing, apple cider vinegar with honey will help too!^^ Good luck!

You can try to gargle your throat with salt water or gargle medicine (not the one for mouth ya).

Normally if the sore just started I gargle my throat with the Betadine gargle which I brought back from Medan (later find out pharmacy in KL also sell this) and it helps. The sore goes away in two days without medication.

But if too late already because of my laziness or the stubborn bacteria infection, I have to take antibiotic.

Oh dear....

My dad made me some really salted lime and I find that really helped me. Also use Listerine and honey. And I also have concentrated Propolis (without honey) that helps.

Oh my goodness! I got this 2 weeks ago!! I never knew sore throat can be so painful! It's like a cut or some open wound in the throat! I have never had such a painful throat before! i tried everything, honey, lemon, throat spray, gargle, salt water, lozenges... In the end I gave up and took antibiotics and steroids! cannot stand anymore! I usually don't complain much when sick but this was crazy! i couldn't sleep at night because of the pain!

Gargling with salt water helps. But if too bad already, then antibiotics prob best.

take manuka honey, it helps :P
I heard some chew on raw garlic, if you don't mind the rawness.

Thanks friends for all the home remedies.
Lucky today, my throat feel slightly better,at least it won't be so pain when I swallowed food.
I continue drinking Adem Sari,drink salt water in the morning & coke with salt.
Hope by tomorrow, my throat gets better,but now it seem coughing is attacking me.

Good that u feel better now..
I had sore throat all the time. So prevention is very important to me... I must have 3 things around... 1. Pei pha kao ( the black syrup) swallow it without water. 2. Redoxon, taking up to 2 tablets a day, 3. Manuka 30+ honey water mix with bit of very warm water. 4. Sucking strepsils and go to sleep.... Oh well... There are 4.... Of course la... Lots of water.... Warm water actually make me feel bit better...
