Try tea its safer Comments By: rachel I have heard of a tea for sore throats from lemon, honey, and (yuck) orange tang which worked. The first 2 ingredients have antibacterial/antiseptic properties. Have no idea why the Tang was added but the whole remedy worked.   Grandma's advice Comments By: Dr, Bob Since Grandma says it works that makes it work. Perhaps psychological, but who cares. it works.   once again it depends Comments By: Anon last time i had a sore throat lemon and honey was a god send, now that i have glandular fever its the most painful thing i can think of to do, it actually made my eyes water when i drank it. . cos i put warm water in with it as that makes it easier to drink for me. .   attention Comments By: Glen It's best that we communicate on God's Kingdom.
