Nuts will soothe a sore throat. Take a few almonds and mix them with a couple of teaspoons of honey. Sit down and eat away. This will give the pain of a sore throat nothing to moan about. Honey is a natural pain killer, so are almonds. The almonds will also help to relieve the inflammation.
Quite a few people have recommended nuts to me for sore throats. Even a sufferer of Strep. He swore by dry roasted peanuts.
