Warm water, salt, baking soda. 1 teaspoon of each in a cup of warm water and gargle. My throat has been killing me for 2-3 days, I`m going out to buy some baking soda.
Anyone use this for sore throat?

yes, but youd be better off buying a throat gargle with iodine in it.
GoldenDelicious said:
The gargle I have is phenol 1.4% by Chloroseptic. It has no iodine. Maybe I`ll look for that while I`m out.
I`m going outside today. damn!
and thanks!

get some honey and fresh lemons . juice lemons and add with honey to tea. should help with the soreness as well.

sea salt might be better than regular salt. people use sea salt when trying to heal new peircings, so i don't see why it wouldn't help out here.
here's a tip to prevent you from getting another sore throat GL - there's this invention called the telephone. you can use it to talk to people instead of trying to yell halfway across the state to hold conversations. people aren't responding because they can't hear you, not because they're ignoring you.
well, they might still continue to ignore you if you call, but that's a chance you take.

seasalt and normal salt will do the same thing, no need for all that hippie crap 
I don`t know if it makes a difference, but I think I got it from the fumes of all the cleaners when I tried getting that ink stain out of my floors and table. It made me very nauseous and it may have burned my throat or something. Does that make sense? I also spit out yellow phlegm and there might have been blood in there. It was red, but I`m not sure if it was from the daycare I`ve been taking. I would guess blood, because I had`nt had the daycare that day.
I`ve been taking NyQuil and Daycare for 2 days straight, so I`m not thinking clearly.

yes, it could be caused by the chemicals that you inhaled (either directly, by irritating the membranes/lungs etc, or indirectly, by poisoning you a bit, affecting your immune system...that sort of thing) or it could just be plain coincidence. best just to proceed with it as if it were a normal sore throat, which are viral 90% of the time.gonelifting said:

on the odd chance that there's some seriousness in this post....
if you're coughing up blood, you need to identify the color to know how serious the situation is. if it's really bright red, then it's simply because your throat is irritated to the point of bleeding. if it's a deeper red, then it's not coming from an irritated throat, it's coming from deeper within your respitory tract. that is definetly something you want to get looked at.
the above paragraph is in no way intended to be substituted for medical adivce. it is purely fiction based on a personal experience i once had when i had strep throat. i am not a doctor, even though i pretend i'm a proctologist on occasion, and my advice should not be substituted for advice from a trained professional.

ive heard you should gargle sme of these
It`s bright red and it was just beyond my throat when I sorta almost gagged on it and eventually spit it out. I think it`s coming from the affected/infected area right in the back of my throat. It`s definately not my lungs and I`m not coughing.
Believe it or not, it may be from eating lots of All Natural Peanut Butter lately as well. Maybe everything combined, got it to that point. When I eat PB it gets stuck right there in the back of my throat. I`ve had these throat problems forever and no doctor has helped yet.
Thanks for the replies.

bright blood: not fantastic, since its fresh, and indicates some sort of active bleed. common things happening commonly, youve torn up the back of your throat with some coughing, but a doctors visit wouldnt hurt.
you might do well going and seeing an ear nose and throat specialist, not to knock general practitioners, but if this is a chronic problem, and you have not had it resolved through your family doctor, then you should step up for a specialist opinion.
and stop singing in the snow, itll make things worse

i wouldn't consider the sea salt "hippie crap." like i said above, people use sea salt and water to heal body piercings. i rinsed my mouth with sea salt a few times a day when i got my tounge pierced. plus i use sea salt when i'm cooking meats i get from the butcher. doesn't leave a salty taste on the meat but definetly helps to bring out the flavor.

crak, dont make me start on you. both sorts of salt kill bacteria by simply sucking the water out of them. there is nothing magical about sea salt or the mechanism by which it works, its just a matter of osmolarity. you couldnt even say that the iodine in sea salt is responsible, since table salt is commonly iodised

i'm not getting into the whole molecular structure and all that shit. you probably have forgotten more about it than i ever wanted to know.
sea salt doesn't have as strong of a taste than regular table salt. i'd much rather be gargling with a sea salt/warm water mix simply because table salt/warm water tastes 10x nastier.
why people recommend sea salt washings for fresh body piercings and not table salt i dunno. maybe the sea salt doesn't dry you out as much or something. maybe it has some magical powers that mere mortals can't comprehend. maybe it's "just because."
but anyway, if i had a sore throat, i'd do sea salt/warm water before table salt/warm water.
plus it tastes better on steaks and what not. can't argue with that.

lol i didnt know that the placebo effect extended to steak
lots of table salt is sea salt, they just dont market it that way
i suspect that the reason people in piercing salons suggest sea salt is because they can sell it at a good profit. you can even find it in pharmacies, but the pharmacist giving it to you probably rolls their eyes inwardly when you buy it.
anyway, if yo usay it tastes better, i wont argue with it. could be true, or could be something as simple as you knowing how much sea salt to add, wheras you screw up the recipe with table salt. doesnt matter anyway

i've noticed a difference between the table salt i buy and the sea salt i buy when i put it on meats (i only use the sea salt on more expensive meats, i don't bother putting it on ground beef). i buy the cheapest table salt in the store though, that probably has something to do with it.
I just take Alkaseltzer, that seems to work pretty good.

i used to feed them to seagulls when i'd go to the beach as a kid.
now i like to feed them to all different types of birds. toss them a bunch of alkaseltzer, let them eat it, then chase them off and watch them drop dead in the yards of my neighbors. fun stuff.

FYI it could very well be the chemicals. My girlfriend's whole job right now is reading through and organizing thousands of old cases from the chemical company she is interning at. They always settle for a few thousand dollars rather than go to court. She says it's unbelievable what these cleaning chemicals can do to our bodies! Hey maybe this is a way for you to cash in, because this is exactly what people sue for. It reads like lots of the cases she tells me about Hope you feel better

Thanks bro, but I got that dancing job on the weekends now. I`m gonna make it big with that. I`ll remember you bro. Don`t worry.

unfortunately for you, the law comes down harder on people that have sex with ducks/geese than people that kill ducks/geese mercilessly.
