About a month ago I got really sick. I had such a bad sore thorat that I could hardly talk. I went to the doctor he gave me some meds and within a few days i was fine. Sore throat and all. Well, now the throat thing is back. It started again two days ago. I am just wondering if something else could be wrong with me. I don't have health insurance so i am trying to avoid doctor bills. If anyone has any home remidys that would be helpfull
thanks

Have someone look into your throat. See if there are any white spots or redish patches.
There could be virus infection inside. There is a common virus called Symbion virus. It will create white spots and redish throat. You need antibiotics to kill the virus.
Other symptoms are feverish plus cough.
Make sure you drink lots of water

There is an amino acid called Lysine that works wonders when you start to get sick... It's an essential amino that not many people know about. I support an ED doctor who told me about it last week when I was coming down with a soar throat. I went out and bought it at a local health food store, 3 - 500 mg tabs a day, one with each meal, and two days later no soar throat... it never developed into a cold or anything, just gone.
Gargling w/ warm salt water is also essential because the salt allows more oxygen in to kill the bacteria... so always a good practice to do this several times a day.
Hope you feel better!

Yeah I am always getting sore throats... I dont have to worry though because I am on medical card THANK GOD!! Whenever I have really bad sore throats I just use regular strength tylenol. But when I do go to the doctor he subscribed to me pills called Amoxicillin. I get 20 capsules in a bottle.. I take 2 tablets daily until my sore throat is gone. Whenever I get another sore throat I do the same thing again with the pills I have left over. If I run out, I call and tell them my throat is hurting again, and they usually give me more..

Get zinc tablets at the drug store and gargle with warm salt water. Whenever I get a sore throat I do that is it is gone in a day or two.

Hi there !
Dont worry !
Follow these golden rules...
1. start having warm saline gurgling every 3-4 hours, when it starts..
2. start with an antihistamine containing cough syrup, twice daily..during the start of the attack..
3. brush your teeth at bed time..
4. inspite of these, if it recurs, consult a GOOD E.N.T consultant.
dont worry..no problem is there without solution..!
best wishes..!

get one fresh lemon and some Cinnamon sticks and honey.
chop the lemon in two , boil the lemon and Cinnamon sticks in 3 cups of water , when its boiled put some honey in ,, drink that twice a day for three days .. you will get better .. i do that every year when i get sick .. it helps to get better quick without medicines

I was once told that sucking on a lemon really works and you know what? It does. Try it. Something about the acidity kills the bacteria and soothes.
