Nosy eh :Erm:
:icon_lol:

Gargle with warm water and put bit of salt, been to that and it helps to me:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[tala]

yup, the gargling does help.
sore throat is related to hayfever
so it's something that i will have on and off until september!!!:cwm3:

i've been to the chemists and acquired a mini-pharmacy
- 2 types of nasal sprays, inhaler, hayfever tablets, eye drops, you name it!

didn't have hayfever back home (in manila) and i lived there for 20 yrs.

You can make your own Salabat or Ginger Tea, try this one:

Pound 2 inches of fresh ginger & boil in 4 cups of water with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar for 7-8 minutes. Serve hot, tastes great with most pastries if you like :D

bibingka would be perfect with it!!!

tala just buy a ginger and boil it thats good for the sore throat

[mommyhere]

just boil piece of ginge root, put it on a strainer, then you can have that as ur salabat, you can also put some honey, instead of sugar, or if u can find mint leaves, yu can mix it when boiling the ginger root for a more soothing effect and more refreshing aroma.

no need to buy..sometimes those you can buy are somewhat like synthetisized..so its better to make your own.

hope this would help..
