Sore Throat Antics

So what do you do when you wake up in the middle of the night with an extremely sore throat? Well if your me you look up sore throat relief on the internet and then you try every suggestion. The first suggestion was salt water. Didn't work. Then I tried cayenne pepper in water. Different burn, but no less painful. Thirdly hydrogen peroxide. Cold, nasty and useless. Then dissolved IBprofen in water. Possibly it is working or I am just getting too tired to care. Finally a good rinse with listerene and I am sound asleep on the couch. My throat still hurts.
