I was coughing all day yesterday from allergies, and that's given me a really bad sore throat. On top of that I hate cough drops. Any suggestions?

Tea + lots of honey = win

Chicken soup

I'll try those. Anything has to be better than these <censored> cough drops. Thanks guys.

Any time.

The honey trick works great for me when I've been singing or screaming lyrics too much. Another trick that works great is ice cream. Freeze your throat so you don't feel it anymore. :p

Also don't get depressed or anything, that makes your condition worse. Go watch a comedy or cartoons or something.

Uh oh. I think I've just realized what caused it. I've been building a light saber recently, and I've done allot of dremal work, but I forgot to wear a face mask. Do you think this is what did it? I do remember that I started coughing around the time I started.

Metal bits in lungs = teh bad.

Yeah, that probably wasn't a very smart thing to do. :\

A mixture of equal parts of vinegar and honey. Take a spoonful ever hour or so or whenever you need it.

Seriously though, I do this and it works. It's one of those home remidies thats from around here.

Listen to Joseph T, he's a pharmacist.

I'm tempted to try it, but that sounds like it would taste really bad.

EDIT: That did taste bad, but I sure got the job done! Thanks!

Try fisherman's friends. They come in different flavors, and I reccomend the apple cinnimon. GG sore throat. It just really releives the pain, is all though.

Joe T, that worked for my sore throat too! Thanks!

No problem guys, its just something I know thats done around here plus its in the Foxfire books. Best thing for home remedies, I'm telling ya.

I kinda agree Obi that it does taste pretty rough, but in my opinion it's a sight better than that Robotusin crap. That stuffs some of the most bitter and disgusting junk I've ever put in my mouth. The only thing about the honey and vinegar is that it does kinda wear off quick, but another spoonfull will fix that problem.

1. Mix Hot Milk and Honey.
2. Drink and enjoy.

Chicken soup makes you think you feel better, but it really does nothing much at all. <3 Health class.
