Sore Throat

Pucianno Lavarotti · 24-07-2007, 07:51 AM

Upon waking up this morning I discovered that I've got the sore throat to end all sore throats, so much so that I appear to have lost the ability to communicate verbally. Now, all this is something of a pain (quite literally, in fact) but what makes it even worse is that I'm seriously struggling to smoke my first gasper of the day without which I fear I may become a Mr. Hyde-like character, bringing misery and destruction to all who cross my path.

I don't usually do sore throat remedies, primarily because most of them taste like a cross between a camels armpit and an explosion in at the Polo Mint factory. So, any recommendations for something to cure me that isn't going to make me want to projectile vomit the moment it touches my tastebuds?

Ugh my throat is killing me too. I think its my allergies because my eyes are red and itchy too.
But I gurgle warm salt water. I KNOW ITS GROSS. But it really helps.
Lemsip always helps me too, and its way less disgusting.

I hope you feel better <3

I have a bad throat too, I've had it since yesterday it's yukky.

throat lozanges usually help me, plus you could drink a hot water with honey and lemon in.

get some throat spray with benzocaine in it

Gargling salt water probably isn't an option as I'm at work, though I may give that one a try when I get home tonight. I am going to go to Tesco in my lunch break and get some of this Ibroprophine and Benzocaine stuff. With impressive scientific names like that, they HAVE to be the badgers nadgers.
