scratchy throat remedies?

[bab]

Do any of you have a home remedy for scratchy throat that I might not be thinking of?

I'm definitely coming down with a cold. I tried to ignore the symptoms yesterday in hopes that they would go away. That tactic did not work.

I have tea and honey and I took a Zicam.

I can't go to the store now because my car is acting crazy. I left work early and came home because I didn't want to get stuck somewhere. H will be home in awhile though so I could pick something up later.

This shit is like sand paper throat. :N:

Try gargling with hot salty water.

Hope you feel better soon!

Eh, salt water only works if it's a bacterial infection. If it's post-nasal drip, best to drink a beer to numb it, and then go to sleep. Repeat until the cold has run its course.

If it is PND neti-Pot works pretty good, I use mine in the shower every morning during allergy season because mine gets so bad.

Otherwise, stop swallowing. Or mouth breathing. Or talking.
