I have lost mine and with the worst sore throat in the world! My throat actually felt like someone had scrubbed it until it was bloody with a brillo pad.. Went to the doctor and my regular doc wasn't there and I had to see someone else.. He looked down my throat and said "Yep! It is a sore throat if I ever saw one, keep doing whatever you been doing!", and he walked out... I had driven 30 minutes, paid money, waited a hour to have a DOCTOR confirm I had a sore throat!!!!"

But I had a friend that made me those hot toddys with tea, honey and whiskey and threatened my life if I didn't drink it...Oooo It felt so GOOD going down even thought it burned my throat, and in a few days my throat was fine!

I have another friend that swears by raw onions when her throat gets sore if you want to try that....
