I wish I didn't have a tie to a sore throat. It wasn't fun realizing last night my throat was hurting, I was coughing, and that it was really burning by the time I woke up this morning.
I stayed in bed and rested all day.
I looked up ways to alleviate the pain of a sore throat.
I have gargled with salt water. Kind of makes you gag, but it works.
I have drank water.
I have drank Throat Coat Tea.
I have drank beef bullion.
I took Nyquil today, and that helped with the post nasal drip, and helped me sleep all afternoon.
I suck on Ricola Throat Drops.
I watched many episodes from the second season of Law and Order. I'm not sure it helps my throat much, but it is very entertaining.
I ate a teaspoon full of honey. I also plan to gargle with Listerine.
I looked up some remedies on the Internet. Here are some I did not try:
I have not gargled with sage, raspberry tea or turmeric. They are suppose to work, though.
I did not make a Horseradish cocktail.
I don't have any juice bars, so I didn't eat them. But that does sound good.
I haven't sucked on garlic.
But I did post on Facebook for my friends to pray that I feel better, and I know that has helped immensely.
Anyone else have a proven home remedy for me to try?
Thanks for the suggestions.
I really hope to get better by Saturday. I am flying to Houston, Texas for a conference, and I really don't want to be sick while I'm traveling. So keep those prayers and remedies coming my way!!

I think the best idea is to mix up a horseradish cocktail, chew on a few garlic cloves, then get on the plane. You may not have to sit next to anyone. lol. You've done most of my tricks except I take Advil. Lemon drops helped also once I had to talk at school again.
Great idea!! Yes, I need to go pick up some lemon drops. They are always good for the throat. I actually did put some horseradish and cloves and honey in my Throat Coat Tea last night, and I think it worked. I am feeling much better today. Still a little sore, but not burning like yesterday, and I did get lots of rest yesterday.
