The Best Home Treatment (which have been used for me since l was a baby, which l have also used for myself and have used for all my own children and they are using themselves and would in all probability, pass on to their own children) .. for Sore Throat is: TCP solution in very Warm Water, used to Gargle Put a few drops of TCP (let it be concentrated enough that you can taste it in the mixture) into very warm (not boiling!) water, use to gargle like four times (ensure it touches your throat ...or if the Sore Throat has been left for long and has now "grown wings"! soak cotton bud into the mixture and use it to touch the sore area of your throat directly. Be careful sha), morning and evening. ...and stop leaving your mouth ajar please! I swear, if it does not go within two days, Go and see your Doctor........ you probably have a more serious infection that needs more professional attention. 1 Like |
