  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I'm not a mom but warm tea, sucking on hard candy, and even gummy bears help. ^_^

I will try the tea thing!! Thanks!! :thumbsup:

Yeah, just try drinking lots of it with little to no sugar. :p You basically need to keep your throat moist. That's why usually any hard candy should help. :)

I always have warm water, salt and aspirin when I have a sore throat. Teas, sodas and coffees are all diarhetics though (sucks the fluids out of you) so just remember to drink lots of water as well to keep hydrated - otherwise you'll get dehydrated and sick all over again.

Soothing substances:
Herb tea, very warm (not hot) with a good amount of honey stirred in.
Hot jello&#8212;a cup of very warm water with a couple spoons of jello mix added.
I have found vanilla ice cream to be very soothing on sore throats.

Take lots of echinacea and vitamin c.

Finally, it is quite vile-tasting, but three tablespoons of apple-cider vinegar and a couple tablespoons of maple-syrup of honey added to a cup of water. I usually use maple syrup (well, artificially-flavoured) since I drink it cold (and quickly), but if you decide to have it warm, then honey might be a better option depending on your preference. :)

Also, if you can get in contact with some granulated xylitol (or find it in gum), that coats your mouth and throat, deterring cavities, but also protecting your throat from infection. :)

Sounds like good recipes! :thumbsup: I'll have to try this next time I'm sick. I've heard that apple-cider vinegar is really good for you.
