What are some remedies for a sore throat that I can make with stuff I have on hand in the kitchen.

Answer by  Erynn (1651)

My father taught me to use a little lemon juice, honey and powdered ginger in some boiled water to make a good drink for sour throats; the ratios vary according to your taste, but the honey is the most important element. Gargling with salt water can help; use 1/2 teaspoon in a mug of boiled water (no added cold).

Throat infection has several remedies like gargling warm water mixed with salt or gargling with raspberry tea. Sipping warm water mixed with one teaspoon of honey and lemon juice can also give relief. Steaming can shorten the duration of throat infection and sucking garlic like cough drop can help ease the soreness of throat.

You can try a cup of nice warm tea with lemon or honey. Make sure tea is not to hot it must be warm. If you have honey swallow a teaspoon of it so it can coat your throat. Also gargling a cup of warm water with salt in it can also help.

Honey, straight, no lemon, booze or anything else because it will irritate your throat even worse than it already is.
