Sore throat is a very common symptom nowadays. It begins as a dry and mild sore throat, which usually one feels only in recurring mornings, and then it either stops or gets worse every morning leading to other worse stages. One cannot really detect if the sore throat is a temporary one or the one that gets worse, that is why one has to treat it at the first sign of sore throat.
At the first sign of sore throat, I usually take Halls Mentholyptus Extra Strong cough drops. When I took these drops form the very first mild sign, the soreness lasted from 1 to 5 days, but when I took these drops a day or more after the very first sign, these drops did not work well alone. There is a limit on how many Halls drops one can take per day. An adult can take up to 1 packet per day.
To cure a sore throat 100%, there are other treatments that help:
Natural Treatment:
- take fruit juices and other liquids often
- reduce dairy foods
- suck zinc lozenges
- rest voice
- stay in a warm atmosphere
Herbal Treatment:
Make tinctures for gargling from, or use cooled infusions of one or more of the following herbs:
- Agrimony
- Sage (antiseptic)
- Thyme (antiseptic)
- Myrrh
- Liquorice sticks
- Marshmallow leaf
Aromatherapy Treatment:
- steam inhalations of Benzoin, Lavander or Thyme essential oil
- taking half a teaspoon of honey with 1drop of Lemon essential oil.
