Now I know why I have been exhausted recently. Seems like my immune system has been trying to fight the cold virus and seems to be losing the fight so far.
I woke up today with swollen sore throat and a temperature. I was wondering if anyone has any great natural remedies or tricks to help with sore throats?
I have to go to work soon which involves talking to clients all day on the phone so I really could do with some advice!!
Thanks in advance

I confirm what @fishtiger58 suggested to you. Cover your throat if you can, keep it warm.

Sometimes just covering the throat can solve the problem.

I have heard that honey and lemon in warm water is helpful. I rarely get sore throats and have never had a temperature in my life. I also have a natural immunity to flu, I have never had the flu either. The common cold however kicks my butt.

@gudheart No never had a temperature. I remember one time my hubby was really sick, he had a raging temperature and was talking crazy stuff. I thought he was yanking my chain. I did some research and found that with a high temperature things like that can happen. I had no idea.

@fishtiger58 That must had been scary not knowing what was happening.

Honey and tea always works great or you can gurgle with warm salt water.

Salt. My grandmother used salt when I was a small girl. Run the tap water as hot as you can, There is certain amount of salt, the more the better. Then gargle with this.

Hope it doesn't develop into a fully-blown snot-filled cold. I just have Lockets or Lemsip when I have a sore throat.
