I get affected by seasonal allergies the most in my family. So, whenever the pollen is high or when the weather changes, my allergies gets bad. As of right now, I have a sore throat and a stuffy nose.

I really want to get rid of the sore throat. the sore throat bothers me the most than my nose. I've been drinking water and currently drinking orange juice. And i've been sucking on some throat lozenges. I haven't had that much of a headache from the weather. My face just feels, puffy and blehish. My immune system feels fine. I took Claritin allergy pill after lunch and took some sutifex for my nose. (sorry for misspelling) Any helpful tips?

heat up some honey with fresh squeeze lemon juice and put a little real butter in it too. My mom made this for when we where sick and we loved it. You could put it in a microwave stove to it warm up. Hope you feel better soon and if your throat still hurt after 3 days or more you should see a DR. to made sure you do not have strep throat.
 
We buy something called throat coat tea from the natural food's store. Very soothing.
 
use manoka honey cider viniger fresh lemon juice hot water.mix together gargle swallow only gargle once then drink rest ..1 clove of garlic crush swallow with a little milk. needs holding down in stomach..certainly takes ya mind off sore throat
 
Boil water in pot
Turn heat off and pour in the cup
Toss the 2 leave of fresh Sage
Wait for 10 minutes
add lemon juice and sugar and/or honey
Make sure, it's warm, not too hot to drink.
Repeat once time a day.
 
Try those Theraflu drinks?

What about hot water with lemon and honey?

I never heard of Theraflu drinks.. Nor actually seen one. :p

But my sore throat is over, yay! But my allergies bother me whenever the weather changes, lame!
 
The easiest method to eliminate a sore throat is to drink plenty of hot drinks - grape juice is nice - or take homeopathic medicine.
 
Gargling with salt water helps me.
 
The best thing that I've found is to heat up some water (luke warm. Not too hot, but should not be cold either) and mix salt in with it. Stir it good and then gurgle the mixture. A lot of times I would start with a slow gurgle and then let it sit, trying to let it go as far down my throat and sitting there without swallowing (of course you always swallow a little bit, but it won't hurt you.)

This method always seems to sooth the pain quickly for me. And if it did not completely clear it up it would reduce the pain and annoyance a bit. A second rinse usually 5-15 minutes later would then finish it off.
