Manuaka honey and Chuan Bei Pi Pa Gao work for me all the time.

i agree with caramelgirl.....manuka honey with lemon (use hot water) and drink about 3-4 glasses a day.....to prevent yourself from getting sick....the best way is still H2O and loads of sleep (if you can afford it)....if not don't sleep too late

7-up. Drink when there is discomfort at throat, make it better.

Sore throat/ loss of voice. Fu Hua herbal drink. Took the herbal drink for Cold, (with luo han guo). Taste bitter, but works wonders. $3 per 500ml.

I took the orange lozenges from Guardian Pharmacy.
It very effective in curing sore throat.
It comes in a metal tube.

Else, drink lot of honey.

Get well soon.

[Huan]

heard that honey might cause phlegm?
if i cant take lozenges or too much herbal drink, then how do i get rid of my sore throat and phelgm?

[duckiee]

drink plenty of water. about 3 litres.

i think phlegm's a sign of infection? gotta see doctor?

[Huan]

had been drinking water and avoiding chicken, eggs and fried food for close to 2 weeks but phlegm still there
had seen the doc and taken a round of anti-biotics...
due to some sensitivity of my stomach, i am unable to take too much anti-biotics...

Chuan Bei Pi Pa Gao has always been my remedy.. and I usually take the Pi Pa Gao candies on the go when I feel a little itchy on my throat.

I rem. someone told me before about salt water being a sore throat remedy too.. But I've never tried it before.

Starfruit juice (not those fruit stall type). Boil starfuit with rock sugar. Works well for me. Alternative, you can buy the "Quan Hao" brand from supermarkets.

Tried that before, useless on me. Feel like being throw into the sea

I've tried salt water - it helps to sooth but does not cure sore throat. Also try to keep my mouth closed while I sleep so that the throat won't be dry. Usually I find that when I start to cough after having sore throat, I'm on the road to recovery.. strange...

Try lime juice (hand squeeze) with some hot water. I find it works for me when i have sore throat.

If you cant stand the sourness of lime juice, can stand-by a teaspoon of honey after u drink the lime juice.

Usually when I just got sore throat, I keep gargling with Listerine (original). Its antiseptic so it kills the germs.
But this is only effective if you just get it, if full blown, then doesnt work already.

But I do agree that drinking honey is a very effective method to prevent common ailments. Whats more, its such a pleasant tasting drink too! Usually, most girls like it!

Gargle with salt water to kill the bacteria and reduce the inflammation of the throat.

Take 1 tsp of honey, then drink honey water to soothe the throat.

But lots of water and sleep do wonders.
