Submitted by Tania Nordstrom

Drink coca cola! Gets rid of the ache in your throat. Also, if you gargle with it, it acts much like an expectorant.

Suprisingly Good Comments By: Anon on 2010-12-28
I was NOT confident in trying this, but it surprised me, and worked pretty good. When a spit it out, I could actually see some of the mucus that was in the back of my throat. It was kind of gross but I feel a lot better and can talk easier.
 
Coke Not Recommended!!! Comments By: albert on 2010-12-30
Sore throat actually caused by bacteria infection, and the most vulnerable part of the body is mouth and throat. so it attack the weakest part of our body before it spread and grow in population, so normally you will get sick after sore throat, like having flu, harsh voice, tired, sometime really sick and u have dizziness. DON'T drink coke or other carbonated drink during this period of time because acidic drink will actually lower your body immune system to fight against bacteria and viruses.
The best way of medication is using saturated salt water(little water added with plenty of salt until it cant dilute anymore), stir it until saturation point reached. then GARGLE it.. but don't drink it. repeat this process 1 to 2 hours interval. it will kill many flu viruses and suppress the quantity of viruses that doing damage to your body. Hence your flu will be lessen and you will not feel as tired as before. try it and it work. all these because of biology knowledge. salt is hostile to living matter, gargle salt water will make your throat inhabitable to living viruses. TRY IT NOW!!! or you can go to pharmacy or clinic to ask for sore throat gargle liquid, it work the same because it will kill germs. SO DON'T TAKE COKE AS IT WILL MAKE YOUR FLU WORST!!

 
Medical advice: coke:)! Comments By: Serena on 2011-01-01
When my 9 year old had her tonsils out and was ready to come home the nurse told me to give her plenty of cola to drink. Apparently it removes the white fury coat off the throat to minimize infection! So if it's recommended post tonsillectomy then I'd give it a go for just a sore throat and also tonsillitis:)

Coke! Comments By: Jen on 2011-01-29
I woke up with a sore throat. it was dry and it hurt alot i couldn't even swallow. I immediately went to buy some coke and the first minute i swallowed the pain was gone. The syrupy gas bubbles made it feel so good and got it moist again.

Remember people you might have sore throat or strep throat. If it's infected then it's probably to late to try the coke remedy.

 
This works Comments By: Kris on 2011-02-22
If this stuff can clean up battery acid, I beliee it can clean more than that also.


 
For all you people who are saying it hurts too much... Comments By: dracki on 2011-03-16
Please be aware that it depends on the type of syrup used in the soft drink you drink. I would recommend Pepsi instead of Coca-cola because Pepsi is sweeter and in terms of fizziness it is better for the throat - if still to fizzy shake it for a while
 
Oooooh awesome! Comments By: Kurtoooo on 2011-05-08
It worked for me, I think the comment about the so many un-natural sugars in Coca Cola is true, I gargled it burned for like a split second, doesn't hurt..
 
not so bad for me Comments By: Jacqueline on 2011-05-14
my grandma tells me to drink sprite, but at the time i only had orange soda so i sipped on it a little and it helped clear my nose nicely hah ( i could breath). As bad as its said to be some good can come from it :)
