I have a horrible flu and a terribly sore throat.. my Dadi is FULL of desi nuska’s and totka’s but she isn’t here and nor am I able to get in touch with her 
I remember a lot of oldies saying lemon juice is bad for a sore throat.. but then so many people say warm lemon juice and honey really works!
Help me out with u’re tried and tested remedies please.. my throat hurts
Re: Sore Throat~
Never try Robotussin - I was coughing hard last week and it did not help at all.
I tried Theraflu - warming relief - nighttime Severe cold - medicine and it worked.
Hey gina sorry to hear u got the flue..but ur right lemon and honey is the best for a soar throat.
U know what i do, heat 2 cups of water in a pan add 3 ilaichi and ad 1 teabag,dont make the kawa 2 strong.
Then add 3/4 tablespoons of honey and slices of lemon. (u can do tht acording to ur taste) Drink a lot of it,and u'll b fine very soon:D

Interesting - i bought Robotussin(sp) and worked really well for me! Guess it depends on the individuals.
Gina sorry to hear you not feeling well - cant believe you got it whilst living in DXB. Dont forget to drink lots of yakhni - chicken soup is the best remedy imo. Hope you feel better soon inshallah.
Re: Sore Throat~
You can also try taking a tsp of honey by adding 1/2 tsp of black pepper powder in it.This is also a good remedy for sore throat.
also suck on vitamin C tablets

SE, it’s actually pretty cold in Dubai.. and I’m anaemic as well.. when u top it off by going to the hospital with mom 3 times a week for her dialysis, u’re bound to pick-up on all sorts of viruses
But this time it’s horrible..the fever hasn’t gone down in over 3 days.. can’t sleep either cuz of the stuffy nose and sore throat! Worse bit.. i’m home alone

Oh poo!! Im coming to Dubai next week inshallah. I am sorry that you are not feeling well. You feel extra cold when you are anaemic!! Just try and keep warm - sorry also to hear about your mum!
Here's what i do when im on my own and ill - get wrapped up in socks, leg warmers, gloves, hat and 2 layers of jumpers - make myself a BIG mug of hot chocolate and tuck myself in the bed with a hot water bottle infront of the tv. Hmmmm....lovely!!
Def meet-up when u're down here! :)

Re: Sore Throat~
Honey with adrak!
Alishat, i'm alright.. suprisingly it's been 8 days and no change! Nights are the worst.. docs say it's best to wait it out :( I can't take the stuffy/runny nose!
Shay hugs!
I did finally get in touch with my dadi and she said to heat a teaspoon of ghee, add elaichi to it and 1 tablespoon of crumbled "seviyan" cook it till they're brown and add a cup of milk and drink it!

Interesting! Thats jst a dessert!
No she made me add haldi to it.. and said the ghee shud lubricate a dry mouth.. warm milk wud reduce the swelling of my throat.. seviyan were meant for sumthing, the elaichi decongests! I can't recall.. but I swear it works! 1 had one cup of it in the morning.. and felt alright for 4 hours or so..
