Whiskey+honey

^ sounds good - what proportions?

1/23/2010 8:59:33 AM

alternate shot and teaspoon until you can't feel anything.

i normally drink warm tea with way too much honey in it. it tends to make me feel better.

Crown + Honey = Problem Solved. Usually takes a small amount, 2 shots or so.

honey by the spoon... wipe the spoon clean with your lips, and keep the honey together in a 'ball' at the back of your mouth so it is touching the raw area for as long as possible. lay down for positioning if you have to.

I have always been told to avoid drinking anything too hot or too cold as it will further irritate it.

i prefer brandy because it tastes better, but alcohol and honey is great

Yeah, my parents gave me whiskey and honey in a 1:1 mix when I was a kid.

your conservative philosophies are getting too hard to swallow, eh?

Back in college we went skiing with my roommate's younger brother who never drank. We fed him those when he had a sore throat and by the end there was almost no honey in it and he was shithoused.

Ice cold Coca-Cola helps me. (Either that or I just like Coca-Cola)

1/23/2010 7:18:40 PM

who calls it a raw throat

aren't all throats raw

1/23/2010 7:21:15 PM

milk, ice cream, yogurt, etc. will coat the throat

but go for the booze+honey

gargle with Listerine to kill those bacteriums and get over your sore/raw throat quickly....rinse and repeat thoroughly

1/23/2010 7:47:18 PM

^ NO.

Use of Listerine and other such products containing alcohol actually dries out the mouth/throat and leads to further bacterial proliferation.

1/23/2010 7:54:42 PM

^ what about non alcohol based mouth washes like Crest

1/23/2010 7:57:56 PM

gargle with salt water

1/23/2010 7:59:49 PM

looks like i did

They will clean out your mouth and throat, but won't do much to soothe the throat. In fact, it will be like drinking coke after eating spicy food.

Try honey.

Here is what I make for my wife when she has a sore throat:

1 mug boiled water
2 tablespoons strong dark honey
1 tablespoon (or more) freshly grated ginger
1 finely chopped garlic clove (very powerful natural antibiotic)
Powdered cinnamon, cloves, allspice

You can throw in a teabag (something light, like green or herbal) if you wish. Omit garlic if you don't like garlic.

Not only does it soothe your throat, but it also contains 2 (3?) strong natural antibiotics. Drink lukewarm, letting the drink stay in contact with the raw area for as long as possible.

Or just honey by the spoon the way I suggested it in my first post in this thread.

Salt water reduces swelling. Also good.

link?

In the cases i've hard a sore throat, listerine always makes it better sooner than not using listerine (or the generic version...).

I don't see what you mean by "dries your mouth out" since your mouth is practically always moist.

why is there no "Best Way to Soothe a Raw Scrot" thread yet?

1/23/2010 8:19:22 PM

^^ Saw it on the news last year (on BBC). Can't remember which country the study was done in, maybe Australia. Shouldn't be hard to find using Google.

Alcohol does dry out your mouth, that's well-known. (as do other things, such as smoking, coffee, tea, etc)

1/23/2010 8:24:12 PM

^ i searched google and google scholar and found nothing.

The only reference to what you suggest was on some hippy organic moutwash website.
