What home remedies for allergies do you use?

HELP.. need home remedies for swollen/sore throat ?

  • I normally use hot tea with lemon and honey, but I am still very hoarse, no other symptons than my usual spring allergies, I am just wanting to know if there are any other home remedies out there so I can try them and see if they work better. BTW, I have already seen my doctor, there's no infection or other problem, my vocal chords just tend to swell if I have recently done alot of yelling.

  • Answer:

    Gargling with warm salt water is good. Another way to help is to squeeze a lime in warm water with 4 teaspoons of honey and 1/4 teaspoon of salt then sip it. Also boil some milk to drink mixed with a pinch of pepper powder. Apply alternating cold and hot compresses to your throat. Gargle with 1 cup warm water and 1 cup apple cider vinegar. One teaspoon of coarsely powdered cinnamon, boiled in a glass of water with a pinch of pepper powder, and two teaspoons of honey can be taken as a medicine. Two or three drops of cinnamon oil, mixed with a teaspoon of honey, also give immense relief. Mix equal parts of hydrogen perioxide and warm water and gargle. Eat some hot soup. Mix half a pack of jello with hot water and drink. I know more so if you want more email me at [email protected]

There is a product called "singers saving grace" it is a little spray can that you spray in your throat. Opera singers use it...i think its about $8. You should be able to get it at a health food store or online. Why do you yell so much?---------I was kidding about the yelling so much

the cheaper way is gargling with salt water before bed. drink more water. avoid fry and oily stuff.

Try gargling with hot salt water. Also if you can get some Halls cough or throat lozenges; those really help.
