I confess to being disappointed with the response on here. Poor old numbnuts is suffering and there has been very little in the way of sympathy or suggestions of cures etc.
Come on, lets all pull together on this.
I bet if Welshie needed help with her bloomer problems there would be offers (not from me of course) so get yer fingers out.
You could try one or more of the following:
Pickled plums!
Gogol Mogol
Originating in Russia and the Ukraine, this hot drink is the result of whisking together an egg yolk and a teaspoon of honey or sugar. Pour the mixture into a half-cup of milk that’s been heated with a tablespoon of unsalted butter. For an adult version, you could add a slug.
The silky consistency of the egg may ease sore throat scratchiness. And the L-tryptophan in hot milk can help promote sleep when it’s paired with a carbohydrate like cereal.
Ai-Ye
People burn Ai Ye (Artemisia argyi orwormwood) in some households in China. Burning the dried leaves of this plant is said to have an antiseptic effect. It’s believed to prevent cold or flu germs from spreading and to defend against further infection.
Ai Ye leaves have antibacterial properties and are used in many forms of traditional Chinese medicine.
Dirty socks
This remedy calls for the greasing of your throat with lard or chicken fat(goose fat is another option) and then placing dirty socks around it.
The treatment induces sweating, which helps rid the body of germs.
The back bedroom is full, there's a big pile of stuff in the front of the lounge and I've still got to find somewhere to put the computer.
