Help! Does anyone have a home rememdy for a scratchy throat due to a cold with coughing?

Answer 1

My grandma's home remedy that truly works is to gargle with WILD TURKEY. I know that sounds odd but me and my husband are not drinkers at all but it truley works in a day or 2 just gargelling a couple times a day.

Answer 2

buy some ginger, this brown root shaped kinda funny, and break off a chunk, peel it, slice it, and pop a larger piece in your mouth. Chew it and suck out the juices without actually eating it. It burns a little, but when you get used to it, it'll sooth your throat, and settle your tummy as a bonus. Doesn't taste great, but i swear it works. It can also prevent a cold when you feel that itch in the beginning.

Answer 3

Ok.... boil water squeeze some lime or lemon (about half the lemon or lime) in it the add about 2 spoons of honey... it has immediate actions you'll feel better in no time!!
some people just plain eat a spoon of honey but i prefer the lime/honey juice
Hope you get well soon!!
