More remedies please?

[mstakenidentity]

I have a sore throat, I suspect I also have a temperature.

My methods of controlling these have up til now included lemon and honey drinks, strepsils and tom yum soup.

Anyone got any advice? I'm still getting sicker and can't see a doc til Tuesday, also have to be at work tomorrow.

In other news, 1620 words in to a 2000 word essay, go me!

My grandpa always swore by a shot of whiskey (or other such alcohol) and I have tried once when I had an exam. For the duration of the exam I felt fine, I got home and felt like death. For extreme circumstances only!
Ginger tea with honey and lemon is also good.

+1 for ginger, fresh only. The anti-inflammatory properties found in fresh ginger should make you feel a bit better. Depending on how sceptical you are about natural remedies, there are supposedly other benefits too.
