Favourite Sore Throat Home Remedies

I gargle a bit of Whiskey or Whisky (depending on what's in the cupboard). Decent swig from the bottle, gargle and swallow. That lets the stomach acid take care of any nasties the gargle collected on the way past (that's my story and I'm sticking to it).

That particular drink generally has 100% more Alcohol than Listerine. If some is good, more must be better and if it burns it's doing good.

What he said but with a good single malt and ice if you need to.

Just avoid eating out under the moon.

Similar to above, honey and OP Bundy microwaved together and lemon juice squeezed in. Sip on resulting mixture and gargle, I drink it but I guess you could spit it out if you wanted to.
I usually makes me feel better.

Keep them coming, you blokes. My dear wife has come home this arvo with Covid (variant whatever) and has a scratchy throat.[bigsad]

I wonder what treatment one L. Lovelace partook of?

I can identify at least two problems you may face with this enquiry.

Ban her, send her back to where she caught it, until she no longer carries the dreaded lurgie.

Don't tell her I suggested this. :no2:

If it COVID be ready for it. Am just getting over it now. Not as sick as when I got it a few years ago but the recovery period post sickness has been more than a week. Lethargic and brain fog.

Spent 4 hours at the computer on last Friday and only wrote 2 paragraphs for my report that is due in today. Did the field work the week before. More productive today but still not yet back to where I was. My get out of jail is that the last person I need to speak to for information to complete the report has been on holiday and only back this week

I did suggest commissioning the camper trailer, which is down in the machinery shed, as an infirmary, but to no avail.
By the way, you may want to buy some shares in the Glen20 company.

Helen had a Pfizer or two, so I hope that the 'DNA Sequence' the company surreptitiously implanted in the vax doesn't affect her! [tonguewink]
