If it's that bad, you might have strep throat and you should see a doctor. You might need antibiotics.

I use that throat spray pain-reliever, take some advil. Tea with honey, gargle with warm salt water....stuff you probably tried. Someone told me that they take a shot of whiskey.

But if it hurts like you say, nothing really gives that much relief that I have noticed.

I used spray numbing agents to help out. If it's that bad you need to get it checked for a possible strep infection. Do not wait, get it done. It can screw you up badly.

old remedy dunno why any one calls it a secret.

brown sugar and moonshine mixture, slowly swallow a tablespoon full.

or could go to an older remedy which is, slowly swallow a big spoonful of honey.

more modern one is gargle with warm salt water.

better idea would be, go see a doctor.

My Grandmother's remedy was:

 2 tbls whisky
1 tbls honey
half a squeezed lemon

Repeat as necessary.  Lemon and honey optional.

This is what I have done if my throat is sore. Take a flashlight and shine it down your throat and on your tonsils. If you see white dots on them you might want to go to a dr. It usually means strep throat. I usually drink warm tea and take OTC's unless it gets really bad. Falconwing is a dr. you might want to ask him.

Strep is very contagious.

You might consider sleeping seperate from the sheep.

I always found the simple solution the best one:

Put a bunch of salt into a glass of water and gargle (& spit it out) until the water is gone.

If it something other than a simple sore throat go to the doc, but try it....it works well.

Strep Throat.

Go see a doctor and ask for a prescription for Erythromycin & Demerol.

You'll feel 100% better in about 30-45 minutes, and will be "cured" the following morning.

Did radio for 23 years.....these saved me on MANY occasions:

Gargle with warm salt water (1 t salt in 8 oz glass) and resist the urge to drink anything after it.  :(

1 T Lemon Juice & 1 T honey...resist the urget to drink anything after it.  :(

Check your temperature if much over 100F and you aren't better by tomorrow get yourself to a doc-in-the-box (Urgent Care Center) or your family doctor.


Good Luck, Bro
