<![CDATA[Sore throat]]>Hi

Anyone know how to cure sore throat? Why do doctor stop giving antibiotics? I was told sore throat will heal as time goes by. Then, I do not need to see doctor for sore throat?? Thanks for sharing your tips.

As a mum, I don’t want to see my child experiencing pain. Good thing we have an ENT doctor who’s very reliable. My daughter experienced a sore throat, and we consulted with Dr. Lau of ENT CC Lau. He managed to treat my daughter and also give us advice on what to do if it occurs again.

(But it could also be that it has run its course!)

I always cook Bitter gourd soup for my family if anyone has sore throat. Good for soothing the throat. Just buy one bitter gourd, then add a bit of salt, with the black beans and also pork.

Hi,
Do you mean you add black beans on the soup?

Since then, my kids and I have been able to prevent mild sore throats from flaring up into serious ones.


The moment I’ve the slightest sore throat, I’ll take "Wellness Formula" & by Source Naturals with Zinc Lozenges also by wellness. Zinc is a great mineral for sore throats. Go to iherb.com to check out these 2 products - there’re a lot of testimonials about Wellness Formula. There’s also kids’ liquid version as well.

Now my whole family and friends have been able to recover quickly because of these 2 products. They’re most effective when you take them at the first signs of sore throat. Twice when I woke up with severe pain, I took a heavy dose of Wellness Formula and I was amazed that within one day, the sore throat was gone. Previously I would need antibiotics to recover.

cimman:
thanks all for your suggestion. I've bottle of Manuka honey at home. Almost forgot all about it Tankee brought it up. Also have a bottle of pipkakao. Will give it a try.

If you want to take pipakao, drink water first. Then take the pippakao and gargle before swallowing. Do not drink any liquids after taking the pipakao for a while. Otherwise you wash away the pipakao.

Not sure about honey, though.

They normally develop into fever and cough for me. I’ve been falling ill less often recently since I started taking multi-vitamins everyday though. Maybe it can help you Janet 😃


Has anyone experienced this miracle before as well?

Consulted 2 GP but still no good with mild fever and gradually I became weaker and weaker and can hardly talk due to breathless…So after about 2 mths finally decided to see a specialist doc at Mt Alenia where I got an Chest X-ray. Then realised that both my lungs are infected so immediately I got admitted to hospital for dripping. I was hospitalised for 4 d 3n…thereafter still continue strong antibiotics for about 2-3 weeks…but since then when I fall sick due to throat problem or heatiness or stress…my upper respiratory will feel weak…

[quote=\"kwokwc\"]TCM way to cure sore throat include taking cooling tea, pearl powder, and chinese anti inflammation medicine - chuan xin lian. The other medication includes ling yang 😄


My elder boy has a heaty constitution. I give him \"Fu Hua\"'s ling yang herbal drink whenever the weather is hot. There is a ready to drink tea bag sold in NTUC- chrysanthemum + American ginseng. He takes this while in sch boarding. All these to prevent sore throat. Am I doing it correctly?

We don't recommend taking ling yang too often as it is too 'cold'. Taking chrysanthemum + american ginseng is option that can take for long term as it is not as cold. But if you give ling yang when you think that he is about to get a sore throat then it is alright.[/quote]On hot weather, I boil chrysanthenum bud (jiu lei) with american ginseng roots to cool down body. If kid / myself has sore throat, immediately mix chuan bei powder with water / milk to drink. It usually relieve the sore throat very fast. If there is cough and phelgm, boil the ji bing with chuan bei powder to drink or use the zhi ke tang.

vlim:
heatiness will always give me 3 ache..tongue ulcer ache. toothache and headache...and I am experiencing it now again plus ear ache..tapuletahan.. :faint:

I will dab tea tree essential oil (Melaleuca) on my tongue and swallow.
This oil is antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-septic, anti-viral

My throat will feel much better as the oil kills those harmful stuff from the body.
The tongue ulcer will heal faster.
The oil can be dab on the gum as well for the toothache.

As for the headache, try peppermint or lavender oil.
