I am getting a cold and tickly sore throat, I need a remedy to clear it for friday...?

I am in a competition singing on Friday night and desperately need a remedy to help get rid of my sore throat. Please help!! x...

keith p	I am sorry to tell you this but it looks like you will be staying in on Friday night ,you will not get better from a cold in two days
dom c	a table spoon of honey and lemon juice everynight followed by a glass of warm milk. and dont do anything strenuous with your voice in the next few days.
paul	Go out to a chemist and by Vicks First Defence and start sniffing it up your nose now! No guarantee that it will work but the alternative is to make contingency plans. Use Beecham's or something similar to mask the symptoms. Good luck!
orphan boy	you need something warm runny and sticky in your throat
jasmine46	Common herbal remedy for sore throat in my area is Ginger tea. If not available you can peel Ginger and put it in your mouth.. Don't chew it tho.. just keep it in your mouth.. helps a lot.
Suresh	drink orange juice for vit c.. or boil a bit of Ginger in water for sometime, and strain it and drink it, like Ginger tea.....
Music Is The World	Make your self a toddy. Hot Lemonade, Honey, Whisky and Sugar.! Mix it all together, youll be fine. If that fails, try...Pineapple and a bit of Onion.
Sage Mountain	You can definitely knock this thing out by Friday! If you have a Chinese store nearby, pick up some Yin Chiao and dose heavy until your event is over. Also pick up some Slippery Elm bark lozenges. If you do not have a Chinese store nearby, the airborne is largely based on the ancient Yin Chiao formula.
ANF	Gargle with soluble Aspirin. This will ease it for you. Unfortunately a cold will just take it's course. I have had a cold recently with those same symptoms plus a headache, It took 6 days from start to finish with day 4 having loads of sneezing and a constantly running nose. Best of luck on Friday.
happyjack	Get some zicam or cold eze really fast
hellooo!! can anybody help me?	The best remedy i know is to heat a mixture of abit of butter and some sugar until it turns dark. I am going to warn you in advance that it tastes disgusting!! My 96yo great grandmother has sworn by this remedy and she had a cough a couple of days ago and it has now gone!! Everyone that i know who has tried it has been either cured or made a very quick recovery - i used to think that it was just "in her head" but it does actually work!!
Takeko	Honey will stop it hurting for a while but its not a long term cure, you ether mix a bit in with water and gargle it or just eat some honey lol. gargling salt water is good, it is and antiseptic and will clean the area. crush a Garlic Clove grate a little fresh Ginger and squeeze the juice from one lemon, mix it with 1 tsp of honey the add that to a cup of warm water, you can take that 3 times a day, it sounds disgusting Lol but if it helps. Echinacea, Sage, Rosemary and Myrrh work too, Dilute 1tsp equal parts of each tinctures in 5tsp of warm water and gargle that the you can swallow the mix.
glgl	Firstly whatever you do DONOT drink milk! Dairy produces phlegm & is very very bad for the respiratory system. Honey is excellent for soothing the throat, I think it might be good to mix it with a little lemon(lemon is antiseptic & will bacteria) & hot water. Also, gargle with salt & water (which has been boiled & cooled to room temp.)...
LILBITOFKY	Try lemon juice and honey warm, gargle with warm salt water. Drink warm drinks such as warm Green Tea.
Blackbeard	I swear by Airborne tablets. They are available at most pharmacies, and cheaper at K-Mart and Wal-Mart. That will take care of your cold, for your throat use a light salt water or peroxide gargle to kill the bacteria in your throat.
I love my man	No chocolate or any kind of milk / cheese / any dairy. Eat little, drink only water, no fizzy drinks. That will sort it, promise. x
hobbsworth	Mix 2 teaspoons of organic apple cider vinegar with 2 teaspoons of honey in 8 oz of warm water. Gargle each mouthful before swallowing. The apple cider vinegar helps kill the bacteria and the honey will soothe your throat. Repeat this about 3 times each day.
steelfixer	The first thing I do when I feel a sore throat starting is gargle with a soluble Aspirin. Don't swallow it just gargle and spit. This way you can do it quite a few times and it will kill the germs.
