SORE THROAT

- Gargle with 1 teaspoon of real cider vinegar ( not flavored) mixed into a glass of water.  Repeat every hour swallowing after gargling and then repeat a 2^nd time.  As the soreness declines the time can be adjusted to every 2 hours.  Should be cured in 24 hours.

- Rub on the outside of the neck a black salve called Iodex, available at Walgreen drug stores or on the site..  Be sure to get the jar with methyl salicylate added.  Protect bedding and clothes.  Excess may stain.

- Paint tonsils with a Qtip dipped in iodine.  Twice is a maximum for this treatment, but it gives almost instant relief.
