    I read yesterday that a good, natural cure is to steep five sage leaves in boiling water for 10 mins - then gargle and swallow. I hope you feel better soon x

        Ditto the salt water gargles. Hope you feel better very soon.
        Try sipping iced water... might numb the throat and relieve the soreness a bit.

            I only did the salt and water + gurgle thing, one time, 4 xs and man did it ever work wonders. It still itches a bit, but its already alot better. I knew there was something , as I did have a sore throat last time with atkins. Maybe they are associated?

              Not that I know of. You are the first I have heard with the sore throat with the Induction Flu. Hope it passes soon.

              It's not about the results. Its about the process.

                No, a sore throat is not one of the symptoms of the "Induction flu".
                I'm glad you're feeling better.

                  If you take the water slightly warm with the salt it really is soothing. I am glad you are feeling better x

                          I just had to deal with this. I was afraid to take anything since they generally don't put carb count on the labels for most cough syrups *grrr* So I just guzzled water and drank hot green tea.

                            Go to the doc and make sure it is not strep. My 14 yo was just dx'd with strep this morning. Feel better, when I have a sore throat I always look at it as a dieting device...lol
