Sore throat-what do you turn to?

CueTheMusic · 01-20-2011, 09:52 AM

I have several things:

Brandy!! Drink it straight. My parents do blackberry brandy, but I personally think that is gross, I like the regular stuff.

Hot wine (usually get a cheap shiraz. don't bother with a good wine...)

The last thing isn't pleasant for most people, but I'll just eat a small amount of ground cayenne pepper. Really gets the saliva glands working

There are people that recommend gargling or putting it in a drink as well.

I can't stand it long before I hit the local Sawbones. Plus my voice usually fades away. They usually give a steroid shot that helps with the swelling and it'll ease off by the following day. Sore throats suck!
