Hi Shanemre,

Thank you in advance for your idea.
For me, I drink salt water in the morning before brushing my teeth,I was taught by my mother when I was young.I never gargle with warm salt water before.

I will try your suggestion!!

HI Borhan,

Thanks for your suggestion.
I will give it a try.
All the while, I am drinking salt water in the morning when I am having sore throat.

Hi Binthu,

Sore throat is a minor sickness,it can happened to anyone.
What I am concern about is pro-longed sore throat may lead to other sickness like coughing.
I hate coughing and with a need to takecare my son full-time, I have to makesure my health is always in good condition.
I don't want the virus get transfer to my little son.Too bad...today,my son started to get a flu.I believe it must be from me as I was flu for the past few days.But now my flu is gone,only left sore throat.

I gargle with salt water to, it always works for me, my throat was feeling soar Saturday morning, it must be the change of the weather, every time it gets cool I get a soar throat, well this is cold and flu season.

HI James,

Just wondering what is Hor Yan Ho??? Is it kinda of herb?
I never heard of this medicine before.Where can I buy it from?
I drink plenty of water now to bring down my body heatiness.
Hope wil get well soon.

Hor Yan Ho is a herbal concoction manufactured in Ipoh, Perak. It comes in a satchel
form. You have to infuse one satchel of it with hot water and addition of 2 or 3 sour plums for taste. Then drink it lukewarm and have plenty of rest or sleep. Try it to know its effectiveness. Eh, Hor Yan Ho should pay me for promoting.

I haven't taken Ho yan Ho for many many years already. I even forgot what is the use of Ho Yan Ho until I read James response. It is a way to bring down the heatiness, I think. WHat I know is One of my aunt is the Ho Yan Ho fans. She drinks Ho Yan Ho likes water.

Shia you can get it at any Chinese Medical Hall. Just tell the shopkeeper you want Ho Yan ho they will know.

vinyang, You are right. it is available in any Chinese medical shop. I believe it costs less than RM 1.00 per pack.

Hi Deepa,

I am using the method that you described above,but I never boil the ginger water,I just just boiling water and soaked the grated ginger for 5 mins and drink it warm.My throat feel better after drinking that ginger water twice.
I believe this method is workable for me.

HI tingtong,

Thanks for your suggestion in advance.
Too bad the materials that you mentioned above is not available at home now.
So I use most traditional method to cure my sore throat.
I feel much more better now.

Me and my boyfriend have had a sore throat for maybe a week now, and i've been drinking maybe 4 cups of black tea and honey everyday and eating peanut butter sandwiches! lol it seems funny but it's been working, i haven't bought any medicine or used any lozenges or anything like that. make sure you keep something on your feet if you have titled or wood floors because if your feet stay cold that makes more mucus build up (somehow) so my grandma says:) but good luck on your sore throat, hope you feel better soon!

:) god bless!

Hi Peaceful,

Thanks for your suggestion.
I did drink honey water everyday,it helps to bring down the heatiness in my body.
Today, I feel much more better.
Thanks for your concern.
