Peppermint Candy is good for a sore throat.
When you have a sore throat sucking on some peppermint candy can help soothe your sore throat as it does for me.
I suck on peppermint candy when I have a sore throat and the peppermint candy does indeed help soothe the sore throat and makes it feel much better.
However when you do have a sore throat it's also good to drink some warm tea with some honey and take some cough syrup as well.
If you're having trouble sleeping because of the sore throat you can take some NyQuil cough medicine which can help you fall asleep and help ease the sore throat as well.
When I take a dose of NyQuil cough medicine I'm usually out within about 20 minutes and sleep soundly.
Getting plenty of sleep and rest is also good for helping you get over a sore throat as well as your cold or flu or any other virus or illness.
Gargling salt water and also drinking some warm water with some apple cider vinegar also helps get rid of sore throats.
Most sore throats do go away on their own within a week to 14 days but helping soothe it makes it go away faster and helps you feel better.
I also eat Ramen Noodles when I have a sore throat as it's easier to get them down as well as the spices help ease my sore throat and the warm liquid is nice on my sore throat as well.
