Can't have a sore throat for the rolling stones!

[tar-bear81]

I woke up yesterday morning with a bit of a sore throat. I started drinking a lot of water and sucking on halls. Now, this morning when I woke up, my sore throat is still there and it's no better, maybe even a little worse.

Does anyone have any ideas for getting rid of this? I'm going backstage at a Rolling Stones concert this saturday and if I still feel like this, I won't be going...help!!

This has to be the 17th time i've given this advice.

Get some Echinacea, vitimin C and Zinc from the chemist now and double dose on all of them.

Never fails for me.

and don't you dare miss being backstage with the Rolling Stones!!

(also, I usually drink a nice, cool mixture of Iced Tea and Orange Juice for my sore throats-it's yummy!)

sucking on halls what!?

My Mother in Law swears by gargling with TCP, but I can't stand the smell long enough to even put it in my mouth :)

I'd agree with Englishbird and get some vitamin C with zinc. I also find that a garlic pearl does wonders for a sore throat.
