Does anyone have any sore throat remedys? I've had one going on two days and its to the point I cant eat or sleep because it is so painful. Please, if you have an in house family secret, let me know.

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
