Put a teaspoon of chamomile steeped in a cup of hot water and allow mixture to cool to lukewarm before drinking. Use chamomile as a poultice for treating a sore throat. For this, put a teaspoon of leaves in two cups of boiling hot water. Dip a cloth into the mixture, wring it out and wrap it around your throat. Change as necessary.
Some remedies recommend garlic highly.
Try taking 10-15 garlic oil capsules daily to fight a sore throat. Several drops of Tabasco sauce in a half glass of water may cut right through the throat mucus that's giving so much trouble. Keep your sore throat moist. This paves the way to recovery. If you don't like throat lozenges, suck on a piece of hard candy.
