Sore Throat/Lost Voice solutions - Got any home remedies, tips, suggestions?

[JJ]

The great JJ is voiceless! Through my own malfeasance, no doubt - spent saturday yelling, drinking, and clubbing, spent Sunday washing my car for a few hours (started when it was 80 deg, finished, it was 60...damn Florida weather) and that did it. I can't speak today. A JJ without his voice is near-defenseless (I don't have any automatic firearms on me like Ricshoe would, ) - what do you guys recommend for this?

I've already tried the honey/lime juice - and Theraflu later. Today's a long class day, 1pm to 9pm, so...I need tips to defeat this today!

Don't even try to speak. The more you do the longer it will last. Just don't talk or make noises for a good day or two and you will be fine.

Add one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper, the juice of 1/4 lemon, and one teaspoon of honey to a cup of hot water. I recently tried this, and it helped a little. I got to say though, not nearly as efficient as an automatic weapon.

[BRu-LAy]

gargling either mouth wash, salt water, or any hard liquor.

Mikey, no talking?! I'm hispanic - that's like, one of our commandments not to break. If I'm not loud - why, how will anyone ever know how I feel?

Sounds like he's done his research. Trust him.

lmao, jkwest, you're hardcore. I'm in my short 15min break between classes today - first thing I'ma do when I get home is this whole beer + airborne + alka-seltzers. It'll either cure me, or make me want ot kill you.

Gargle with vodka - that I have - at home. Lovin how alcohol cures everything.

[phlydude]

alcohol and it's antiseptic properties can't be wrong...

[austin126]
