Still sick...?

Question

I have had this cough and sore throat for the longest time and I have been taking a bunch of medicine for it and nothing just seems to work plus I'm tired of taking the medicine...does anyone know anything natural for me to take (besides regular medicine) to try and help me get better?

Answer 1

if it's been several weeks you might want to see you doctor, otherwise you can start by gargling with saltwater(1 teaspoon of salt in 8oz warm water 6 times a day) and if your legal drinking age a hot toddy( look it up on the net for a recipe you like ) or ask you parents, you can also gargle hydrogen peroxide ( if your old enough, if not ask your parents first please) this can be dangerous but it works and you CAN NOT SWALLOW ANY OF IT PERIOD, AND YOU CAN ONLY USE IT ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK BECAUSE IT CAN HARM YOUR TEETH SO BE CAREFUL. there is a honey and lemon hot tea drink that also works also look up natural healing on the net you will find many many more.

Answer 2

whenever we feel sick its because our body is trying to tell us something is not right. That may sound a little obvious, but its not always the case. A lot of times, we just don't want to listen. Because we are afraid, or we just don't want to go through what it means to change the situation that is making us feel bad.
In the throat there's an energy center, the 5th main chakra, which has to do with our hopes & dreams, want we want for ourselves, and how we make that wish come true. If there is something about your life that you are not happy about, or that is troubling you, or something that you feel you need to say to somebody, but cant.. well, thats it.
If you want to learn more, do a google search on the chakra system.
If you feel like it may be right for you, try with energy therapy, like reiki or Bach flower essences.

Answer 3

Try taking elderberry. It's an herb and you can find it in a capsule or as a cough syrup( it's called sambucol). You'll start to see results immediately. Go to a health food store.
Hope you try it and good luck!

Answer 4

have you checked and ruled out Mono and strep throat?

Do you smoke?

My neighbors daughter recently missed a semester of college with Scarlet fever because she ignored a sore throat for months

you need to rule out some causes so you have a better idea of what you may have

Answer 5

There is something called a Neddy pot. I think that's how you spell it but it looks like a tea pot. I saw it on Oprah on Ask Dr Oz and was thinking about getting one. They said its like giving your sinus a bath. Its great for colds and allergies.

Answer 6

You might have allergies. Have you tried an antihistamine?
