This message is by no means a cure for a sore throat. However, I found something that helps soothe the sore throat agony a little better than a simple cough drop. When I feel that twinge of a sore throat begin I pull out the good old tea bags and make a trip to the medicine cabinet for a cough drop (which we keep on hand during the winter months). What you want to do is make your hot tea as usual, you can use any flavor of tea that you like. Once your tea is made, simply place the cough drop into the hot tea and stir it until it is desolved into the tea. I have found that this works very well to get the "soothing vapors" of a cough drop deep down where the sore throat starts. As I said before, this is in no means a cure for a sore throat, however it makes life a little more tolerable while suffering from a sore throat.
