Some of these sore throats infections come on rather quickly as during COVID. For me, It only takes minutes for the iodine painting to chase a sore throat once applied to that area.
If the iodine painting does not work in minutes, I run for the garlic. It is often a sure hit. A couple of chews on one clove of garlic, or at least a few chops with the knife, and down the hatch.
I always have a nice cold glass of water ready to keep it moving in the right path. Sometimes I simply make the lemon garlic tea that people often talk about on EarthClinic. So if the iodine is slow, toss in the garlic.
