What would bother a throat more, gargling w cayenne pepper & water, or plain ole Listerine? Just guess, it won't injury you to guess.

• I had a sore throat and I did the whole salt water w apple vinegar thing, but it didn't do me any good. I ended up trying Listerine burned and irritated my throat more! Then I tried warm water cayenne pepper with a salt water gargle afterwards, and that helped abit. I ended up going to docs got a antibotic shot plus, oral antibotics 1500 amoxcillian a day & 600 mg ibuprofen pills, plus, claritin prescription to take. Worse throat infection, I ever had. UGH!!!

• You're not supposed to mix the salt with the vinegar, it's either or. That sounds like a real bad infection, glad it's cleared up.

• LOL In the end, I was doing anything I could think of!
  
  It was my fault for allowing my allergies to run wild for close to a month. By the time I tried to redeem myself, it was too late and the off/on nasal drip had done it damage to my throat.
  
  It wasn't pretty.

• I tried both when I had a sore throat, and believe it or not, I found the cayenne pepper & warm water to be more soothing than the Listerine. That was my experience at least!
