<p>I have a sore throat... any one have good suggestions/ heard of old wives' tales that would solve my problem? ;)</p>
<p>right now i'm taking Airborne (yes, i know it actually doesn't really do anything, but it does soothe my throat) and Vitamin C.</p>
<p>sleep, drink lots of fluids, avoid stress, avoid talking much etc. etc.</p>
<p>For sore throats I usually drink tea and have ice pops to soothe the pain. My mom often gives me these disgusting, grainy zinc tablets that usually end up working really well and clears everything up within a day.</p>
<p>Popsicles are amazing, and don't sleep with your window open.</p>
<p>Just be careful though. I had a sore throat for a few days and it turned out to be strep. I guess it is going around really bad right now.</p>
<p>honey tastes good</p>
<p>OMG I hope it's not strep!!! my friend just got strep a few days agoo... wah! </p>
<p>I'm working on sleeping, avoiding talking (which is hard as i'm a chatterbox) and i have ice cream but no popsicles. i wonder if ice cream would work...</p>
<p>The last time I got seriously sick was because of strep, I was hospitalized.</p>
<p>The sore throat was the least of my problems and I don't think anyone would have diagnosed it besides experienced medical technicians.</p>
<p>The doctor gave me some nasty, grainy amoxicillin, so that might work if you have strep.</p>
<p>honey tea works</p>

<p>That's what they gave me... it sucks. I think the side effects are almost as bad as the strep lol.</p>
<p>My mom makes me this weird mix of emergen-C and lemon juice in hot water. At first it's weird, but it grows on you and really helps to sooth you're throat.</p>
