Acv and cayenne for sore throat

Posted By Carreen (Greenwich, Ny) on 02/10/2011

HELP!! 11 days ago I started with a sore throat which I discovered 3 days later that ACV works great for that. Cayenne pepper worked very briefly, tomatoe tea just gave me bad breath and here I am on my 4th day of antibiotics. I have an ear infection in both ears which isn't the problem. The congestion in my head has created my whole head to be "under water". I actually started getting worse after I started the antibiotics and I don't feel any better.

Please give me any advice to clear my head!! I've tried ACV, garlic, hydrogen peroxide, cigerette in my ear, steam inhalation, hot clothes on my ears, netti pot! Please help!!! Thanks everybody. I love the idea of this website and I've told everybody about it but I feel like a hipocrate b/c all the stuff I tried didn't work. Please give me something else to try!!

I was congested for weeks last summer until someone suggested I try honey for relief. I put about a tablespoon (maybe 2) in hot mandarin orange tea to be exact and my head cleared up within a day. Drink a normal cup of tea as hot as you can stand without burning yourself. I believe honey is also a natural antibiotic.
