help, best thing for a sore throat?

[cheeryface]

my throat is really hurting and at times feels like something is stuck there.

help !

I love Aspro Clear (the soluble one)
If you can take asprin it is bloody brilliant and wouldnt be without it in my cupboard

Can only get it from boots though.

Tesco's own blacurrant throat sweets (cant remember proper name) 98p a pack, were voted better than crappy strepsils etc.

I always use em theyre lovely

Gargle with soluble aspirin or paracetamol
Merocaine/Dequacaine throat lozenges
Covonia throat spray -makes you gag first time but has an antiseptic and anaesthetic effect

Poor you, I've had a run of really bad ones recently and throat pain is nasty. Best things I found were: gargling with soluble aspirin (make sure you do it for a few minutes) - this one works really well before a meal, as it dulls/numbs pain for at least half an hour if not more.

Also, a spoonful of Manuka honey: I was sceptical (advice from MN couple of weeks ago) but it really, really helped. I had the +10 sort. Repeat as often as you like, the more the better (unless diabetic, I imagine).

Hot lemon, ginger, and honey (with a dash of whiskey if you fancy it/can take it) is soothing and feels nice. Or Lemsip, for that matter.

Sweets and sprays that numb the throat helped me for a few mintues, then made it, if anything, worse - when the effect wore off.

Hope you feel better soon, xx

Difflam Oral Spray/Gargle can be bought from most chemists. It's amazing and just what a Dr would prescribe for sore throats.

thanx everyone. i will try all those,

all at once

feels like somethings dangling at the back but i guess i'm feelin my tonsils aren't i?

high cocoa solids chocolate is good - honestly! I was told by a friend from saudi arabia and it works a treat. Kind of lines your throat.
