Sore throat remedies

[Ememem84]

Hi all. Help wanted please. Have had sore throat since yesterday. Have a 12 hour day at work ahead of me plus a dinner out with my boss and a client later ( at a really nice place so I really want to go).

Anyone have some sore throat remedies, apart from pain killers, which they could recommend?

I have read that eating marshmallows is good for a sore throat. Have no idea why though!

Honey melted in some hot water with some lemon juice is soothing.

can you gargle with asprin...I know its drugs, but you could spit it out rather than swallow it?

manuka honey too is supposed to be good. the higher the number the better as far as I understand.

hope you feel better soon.

As an update. Still have sore throat. But now it's coupled with horrific headache. Feeling sick. And no desire to get out of bed. These new symptoms are nothing to do with the wine I had at dinner. Promise.

Also I looked up marshmallows. It's marshmallow root. No idea where to get that but it's supposed to work wonders.

Get well soon!
