I am finally recovering from flu. It started with sore throat and it is ending with one too. I can feel the wall of my throat is broken, like a mouth ulcer. How do I make it heal faster?

I'm not sure about black pepper here... But have you heard of black cummin seeds? If you ground them and take it as is or with honey, it will be an effective remedy.

This is the first time I come across honey with black pepper powder. Sure it is not too spicy for the throat to handle?

I went to the Chinese medicine shop last night. There is a herb list given by traditional medicine practitioner for cough and phlegm. It is not expensive but I have to boil it and drink the soup. My sore throat is gone but I am still coughing. Tonight I will boil some more.

Ginger brew is the best for sore throat. I personally proved it for myself when I had sore throat. I drank it without any sugar. But if you want sweet taste , you can add honey into it, but I prefer it without anything included.

Thanks for the suggestion. Will try it tomorrow. Just took my last antibiotic, I prefer to not mix the two together.

Ulcer makes appetite is lost, because the mouth was smarting. To treat it using a natural way i.e, by using Goldenseal. Gargle with Goldenseal water twice a day will speed healing. How to make use of Goldenseal is as follow: insert one teaspoon powdered Goldenseal to a cup of boiling water and brewed for 10 minutes, and then use water to rinse. Hopefully this natural recipe, handy for you.

Saw a doctor and I am on medication. The flu is going away but I am down with sore throat, probably due to my air way is too dry from the medication.

It's kind of pricey and I am not sure where you live if they have it but I use Colloidal Silver. It helps with any sickness I have ever had or my kids have ever had. We have used it for colds, sore throats, coughs, cold sores, boils, infections, etc... It works on everything so it's nice to keep in the house just in case. =)

Try putting a salt on your throat but doing this: Tilt your head up, then shake a little bit of salt straight into the back of your throat. This way you cannot taste the unpleasant taste of salt. Do not swallow the salt, let it be there for as long as possible. It is effective if you do this when sleeping time as you dont have to eat food, and that will make the bacteria to strive more and by the help of salt you can eliminate / get rid of them faster. Salt is a very old remedy that kills bacteria. In the old days they traditionally used salt to preserve meat and fish. Why? Because salt attracts water and attacks the bacteria cell walls, causing the bacteria to dehydrate and self-destruct in the process. Goodluck and hope you feel better soon. xx

Here in mexico we take lemon juice and honey. Mix it together and drink it for a sore throat. Give it a try.. works for us here.

hi, tehpau. ginger is the best herbal medicine for sore throat. you can take it as a tea (boil a small piece in water) or even just eat it raw. some also eat caramelized ginger but i don't know if you can find shops that sell this in your area. if you do not have it in your house, just go to an oriental food shop and you will surely find it there.
