A sore throat is so painful and uncomfortable. You can take lozenges, cough drops and other medications that will help soothe your pain. But if you want to save money or try something else there is a great remedy that will work on reducing the pain in your throat.
Have you ever tried peroxide? It is know for cleaning and destroying germs that are from cuts and infections. It is also known as a teeth whitener as well. Did you know that peroxide can help relieve your sore throat? It works like an disinfectant, it literally attacks germs and reduces swelling.
If you don't believe me try for yourself, my mom used it for my brothers and I when we had problems with our throat and she still uses it till this day to keep her mouth cleaner.
Here's how to use peroxide for your sore throat:
Grab the peroxide, pour about a tablespoon in a cup and then dilute it with a tablespoon of water.
Gargle for about 15 to 20 seconds and then spit out. Repeat at least 3x a day until the soreness wears down. When it foams that mean it is cleaning the germs that is causing the infection.
If the OTCs meds don't work or this remedy it could be something more serious! Consult with your doctor right away if your sore throat last for more than 3-7 days

+1 page to Eddie Storms' book of knowledge. Yeah, peroxide is used for cuts. That's the basic first aid thing people know. This is the first time I've heard of it being used for sore throat.
