Best cure for a sore throat (when you can't drink the hot toddy). Believe it or not, one of the best "cures" for a sore throat are hard candies and lots of fluids. Hard candy like Life Savers or lemon drops disolved in the mouth will coat the irritated throat. Soothing it somewhat. The water is to hydrate the the throat. A simple solution but it works. Also helpful, chicken broth or noodle soup, warm water salt gargles, naps (they give the body time to heal as well as help the time pass), and finally a hug or joke.
Laughter helps to strengthen the immune system not to mention keep yer mind off yer troubles.
Hugs to you if you wake this morning with a sore throat.
