Sore Throat.

>Ahh, now you have asked for Dr. Jim's Secret Elixir! (LOL)

Try this:

Make a large pot of Lipton's Tea (Typically 1/2 Gallon using 10 - 12 bags of tea seeped in boiling hot water...or alternatively, 1 - 2 bags in a large coffee mug seeped until there is a deep, rich color and wonderful tea aroma.

To the above (per large coffee cup):

Add 3 - 5 tablespoons of honey

1 clove of Cloves (only if you like clove). In place of one clove, use 1/16th tsp (half of 1/8 measure) of clove powder.

1 cinnamon stick 4" or 6", stir with stick

1/8 - 1/4 piece fresh lemon

Adjust sweetness and flavor according to your preferences.

The wonderful thing about the above is, that the honey soothes the throat, cloves have a magical property of being a mild anethetic and both clove and cinnamon have anti-microbial properties plus they taste wonderful. The lemon adds tartness but also functions as an acidifier which accelerates the anti-microbial properties of the spices and helps to sterilize or kill bateria in the throat.

As I said, adjust your cup to the sweetness and tartness that you prefer.

I know you said you don't like honey, but that really is the best thing for your throat ;) Something my dad used to make me that you could try (even though it has honey in it, you may enjoy it! It tastes pretty good and is wonderful for the throat)

In 8 ounces very hot water, add 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons honey, and an optional 1/8 tsp ground clove.

Eat some chicken noodle or chicken and rice soup. The noodles or rice will help you feel a fuller and the warm broth will sooth your throat.

Warm tea with honey is also good for a sore throat.

I usually have soups (chicken noodle's good for me) or yogurt.

Also, I recommend taking ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and maybe getting some cough drops. Actually, there's this one called Hall's Breezers that have very yummy fruit flavors. They're just pectin drops that are supposed to coat your throat and make you feel better. The thing is, they taste REALLY good and fruity, so it doesn't have that menthol taste that is sometimes gross in cough drops. I prefer taking them when I have a sore throat since they're made for that.

When I have a sore throat or when I seem to be catching a cold, I'll just get a coke.

Echnaea tea or gipsy cold care by traditional medicinals. IF yo ucant get that regular black tea, or green. Add honey and no milk to the tea.

Soup and drink hot chocolate

Take a shot of vodka
