Get rid of sore throat?
I have a really bad one. I need to get rid of it. I keep eating cough drops, but it won't work.

Re: Get rid of sore throat?
Cough drops are only useful if they have menthol in them, and the menthol ones don't taste all too great.
Try taking some OTC cough medicine.

I have tylonal. I just took it 1/2 hour ago. They're menthol berry, and they sort of work.

Re: Get rid of sore throat?
Apart from what Wickimen suggested, you might try rinsing your mouth with salt water (unless the sore is really far down your throat). Sometimes it can be effective. ^^
But yeah, drink a lot of tea. That's what I do when I get sick.
I know what you're thinking! "Neptune! Get rid of those filthy advertisements and give us back the Zarathustra siggy, you horrible person!" Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>Offline

Salt water= Effective. Just don't swallow it:) If it gets worse go to the doctor, could be strep throat. I get strep once a month, Sadly.
