I have a very sore throat, I am a professional singer with a show on Friday, Any quick remedies out there??

Question

I am already using Vitamin E & C, Zicam, and Cold FX. My humidifier runs constantly. I don't want to cancel. HELP!!

Answer 1

This sounds weird, but a nurse told me about it and it worked for me.
Mix a cup of very warm water, a goody powder or crushed asprin, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, and a tablespoon of salt.
Gargle with it every hour or so. It tastes awful, but it helped my throat in one day.
The warm water relaxes the throat, the asprin is a pain reliever, the lemon juice cuts through the mucus coating, and the salt helps dry up the raw part of the throat.
Not guaranteed, but I hope it works.

Answer 2

Try some Zicam cold remedy, you can get it at your local Walgreens, Wal Mart, etc. Green tea also.
