Chocolate Milk
Jessica in Winston Salem North Carolina -
I have a sore throat and it hurts to cough. I tried Cloraseptic or the generic brand, They are good but dont last but a few seconds. I then started drinking Chocolate milk. I guess because of the thickness and the sugar it actually takes the pain away. I had trouble sleeping because of my sore throat. I drank some chocolate milk and laid down and I slept for at least 6 hours. White milk is ok but it is not quite thick enough. The sugar also helps. You may email me at Tygurlee@clearwire.net if you have any other questions.

This is by far the best remedy - wont let u down
Vivek in Chicago, IL, USA -Take a glass of milk and add the desired amount of sweetner or sugar. Then add 1 tea spoon of turmeric powder. This is quite cheap and available in all Indian Stores all over the world.
The milk should be warmed to a point where it is drinkable.
Drink this before bed time at night.
You will turn from a toad to a nightingale overnight.

This actually works on pain relief for sore throat
Hans in Los Angeles, CA -Eat or drink the highest quality dark chocolate. Try to get 70% cocoa with minimal sugar.
Chocolate in recent studies is shown to me MUCH more effective than narcotic medications.
Maalox can dull the pain as well.
Drink plenty of Green Tea for added benefits.

Speedy Relief
Patricia in Humboldt, Kansas USA -It's true that gargling with peroxide is great for a sore throat but for extra relief after the peroxide, let an aspirin disolve down your throat. I would not recommend this for a child.

Salted Plain Youghurt
Steph in London -For bacterial based sore throats, just mix a little salt (c.1/4 teaspoon) with a good plain youghurt (1/4pt), stir and then sip it slowly over 10-15mins, letting the youghurt rest on the sore thorat. The salt and 'good' bacteria work to kill the bad bacteria and therefore the infection. (Generally it takes just one night and it's similar to a 'Salted Lassie')

hydrogen peroxide
Michelle in Elk Grove, Ca, USA -
Simply Gargle with hydrogen peroxide 3x daily and it will not only relieve your symptoms but it kills the bacteria back there as well. It tastes terrible, and makes you foam at the mouth, but it works very well. Also at approx. 49 cents a bottle it's cheap too..
