Throat Pain Treatments – A Family Remedy

If you have ever suffered from an inflamed throat and were unable to find an adequate remedy you will love this article. Most people don’t know what to do when they get this condition. In this article, you will read about some great tricks to soothe the pain, and even better, soothe it quickly.

Depending on the severity of the condition, lozenges and cough drops may be enough to bring relief. Drinking a hot tea is also a good idea, especially herbal teas like chamomile and tea infused with lemon. Regardless of flavor, add fresh lemon juice and honey to help soothe and heal your pain. After all, this is about relief not aesthetic value.

If you can handle the taste and consistency, also try eating honey from a spoon (1 tsp every 3-4 hours). This will help coat the affected area and relieve some of the symptoms.

By far, one of the best home remedies for this condition that I have ever encountered is an odd mixture that works wonders within hours. After having this pain for a few days and losing my voice for two days, I went to the take-out restaurant I had been visiting daily for my wonton soup fix. Upon hearing that my voice had worsened, the cashier gave me a great family remedy.

Remedy Recipe
Slice a lemon half into 3 slices. Place the lemon slices at the bottom of a tall glass and mash with a spoon, add salt (I added about 5 tsp) and then fill the glass at least 3/4 with Sprite. Mix the contents and sip until you have drank the entire drink.

Now, this may have been one of the least tasty things I have ever drank, but within hours I had my voice back and within a day I was talking like normal. It truly is an amazing remedy.
