    Any natural way (like household stuff) I can get rid of it or relieve it somehow? Or would strepsils be the best answer? I think I'm getting one since my mouth is really dry no matter how much water I drink. >_<

    Please help. :tears:

    I've heard of squeezing a lemon into a little bit of water, but I'm not sure if it can cure a sore throat.

    Gargling with salt water helps, but old old home remedy was to gargle with warm vinegar in water. The acid lowers the pH and bacteria have a harder time. If you have a fever that accompanies this, especially at night, seek medical attention.

    Salt water!
    That's what I was thinking of.
    My bad.

    Thanks a lot guys! :slight_smile: We don't have any vinegar or lemons... but we have a lot of salt, so I'm gonna give that a try.

    Honey and Lemon Tea also helps too I've found. try not to buy it from a packet. just grab a normal teabag, put a bit dollop of honey into the boiling water, add a generous squeeze of lemon and give it a good stir to melt it all together.
    that helps me sometimes.
