steep some Eucalyptus leaves in tea VERY hot...then stir in a couple tablespoons of honey. Add a tablespoon of lemon juice. It worked for me when my Nana did it.

my great grandma used to boil up a mixture of water, onions and sugar. Then strain it and make me drink the resulting syrup.
Needless to say, when ever she came around, I'd run into my room and cough into my pillow to hide the fact I was sick.

no lemon nor oranges. People think it works but it is actually worst since it irritates your throat.
get some vitamin C tablets or something.
the best is just hot tea with honey and keep your self busy.

edvc van...my Grams would kick your ass if you left out the lemon! The eucalyptus coats and numbs everything...the lemon juice provides a nice jolt of Vitamin C.
Don't mess with a Latin Grandma's recipes! Haha.

My mom put lemon on my tea as well. I liked the taste but I could've gotten better faster.
Grandma's tend to do the opposite of what it should be done, even mine.This is a list of things the American Academy of Otolaryngology recomends to do:
-Increase your liquid intake.
-Warm tea with honey is a favorite home remedy.
-Use a steamer or humidifier in your bedroom.
-Gargle with warm salt water several times daily: ¼ tsp. salt to ½ cup water.
-Take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol Sore Throat®, Tempra®) or ibuprofen (Motrin IB®, Advil®).
-Don trust Pocho's grandma.

Damn...I think my Grandma kicked someones ass from the American Academy of Otolaryngology.
Anyhow...it seems lilke one of the key elements in all the recipes in Lemon juice. Beer is good too!

Go out on a bender. that'll make you forget about your sore throat

burn it away with hot hot chocolate
works for me

gargle with salt water, you need to destroy the unwelcome bacteria in the throat region.
The lemon does help as it's concentrated vit C but yes it is also an irratant which is why the honey helps.
Stay clear of dairy products and drink warm liquids.
Don't forget to brush your teeth, the fluoride helps kill germs.

i forgot to mention Korean Ginsing tea, it wipes the floor with sore throats and funnily enough the best ginsing teabags come from the U.S.

Been dealing with a head cold for a week now. Last Saturday I took a half shot of whiskey and a half shot of lemon juice. Felt surprisingly better afterwards, temporarily.
Never underestimate whiskey when you're sick.

I once knew a seaman who loved to spread semen.
