I have been fighting a soar throat and decided to go to the doctor to see if there was something I could take. She did give me a prescription but also suggested I wait a couple of days and try using a Neti Pot first, which did end up working for me. If you haven't heard of this it has been around for years. It looks like a geni's lantern made of white ceramic. I remember seeing Dr. Oz introduce the Neti on the Oprah show. You can see a video demo of how the Neti Pot works by clicking the link below from You Tube. Essentially you end up pouring a warm salt water solution into one nostril and it comes out the other nostril, cleaning out all the gunk in your head. Neti Pots sell for about $10 and you can find them at Whole Foods and some drug stores.
