Sore Throat Remedies

Like I mentioned on Sunday, I've been hit by the sore throat bug.  I'm STILL trying to get over this.  I feel a little tired throughout the day, but other than a slight runny/stuffy nose AND the sore throat, I feel for the most part fine.  My voice has been affected a tad by it, but for the most part---it's still here!

I have gone back and forth with what will help cure a sore throat.  I used to run to the doctor every time I was sick.  Now that I have a full time job and have to pay for the doctor bills myself, I try to avoid the Doctor if at all possible.

I've been taking my trusty Claritin-D daily and I've also incorporated peppermint tea.  Y'all.... I have come to absolutely LOVE this peppermint tea.  Not only does it taste wonderful, it is SO soothing to my throat. 

 



I use my tea kettle and boil water and add a tea bag.  I let it rest for about 3-5 minutes.  I will add a dollop of honey and then stir.  It's AH-MAZING.  If you are big into tea OR have a sore throat, give this a try!

I'm always down for hearing new (or old!) home remedies for curing a sore throat or the common cold.  I've heard before eating marshmallows will sooth a sore throat.  I have tried this in the past, but don't know if it really works.  It sure did curb my sweet tooth ;)
