Finding a Cure for Sore Throat

My guests and followers, ( if there are any in the world), I deeply apologize if I have not been feeding this blog properly. I have been sick for the past two weeks and now I don’t have my voice. Yup, its all sign language inside the house and I am too happy that TRAIN is there to accompany while I get medication. I lost my voice last Saturday and there is no sound coming out of my voice box. This has prompted me to share some of the common cures for sore throat, which although milder than my condition is quite similar.

Honey and Lemon Medication

This is my first solution. I asked for hot water and mixed lemon ( kalamansi ) with salt, there was no handy honey where I was last Saturday. It helped sooth my throat, but there was still no voice coming out of my throat. I guess it has been overly abused.

Note: I am not a singer or anything near it. Doctor said it must be due to fatigue, which I am very much guilty of.

Ginger Candy

I am fortunate to have Gingerbon sold at Mercury Drug. Not that I am advertizing it, but it is very effective. If my condition has not gone worst then it would have easily fixed my problem. It is perfect for anyone suffering from sore throat. It is even much better than Strepsils. Trust me.

Bitter Herbs

When I arrived home, I asked mom to prepare bitter gourd or bitter melon. She cut it and sprinkled a few salt over it. I indulged in eating it and is still eating it with my every meal. I also have fresh mustard prepared in the same manner. It is bitter. It is very bitter. However, it is nice that I love anything bitter so I can endure it. I believe it is working.

Sleep

This is the ultimate remedy. I must admit, I am not sleeping properly. I really wonder how I can have the proper sleep. In any case, sleep is the best form of medication and I am doing it for these past two days. Hopefully, this will be enough for me to have my voice box.

If you have any additional tips on how to get rid of sore throat. Feel free to post it. I will surely appreciate it. I am still suffering from it.

Thanks in advance.
