tomster Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Just dealing with the onset of LPR - it started in earnest on Tuesday and it has been a very uncomfortable few days, to put it mildly. Worst symptom though is the sore throat, followed by the water brash. I've read gargling with salt water help the throat but for me it makes it worse which seems to make sense as the back of my throat has bile acid hitting it - it is red raw and salt just irritates it further. I need to loose about 25kg and I'm on with that, hopefully that will get rid of most of the symptoms In the meantime, if anybody has any ideas on how to calm the sore throat down (or help with any of the other symptoms without taking pharma drugs) I would love to hear from you! Thanks in advance. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oztruckie Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Try mixing half a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water,down the hatch. Another good remedy, desert spoon of vinegar with the mothers in a glass of water every morning,just sip this one slowly,both great remedies for the digestive tract.

internationalism Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 try cepacol, strepsil (there are several different ones, with different active substances) lozenges. also Kamillosan spray. Now they have large 20ml bottles, just from 145b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
internationalism Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 to add: cepacol "original" for some 26b has antibacterial and antiviral properties (cetylpiridinium chloride works on covid-19). There are many other cepacol's with different vitamins, they are more expensive than original and don't contain cetylpiridinium. So probably not worth. But might talk to a competent pharmacist.

connda Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Add sodium bicarbonate to your salt water as that will neutralize the acid. Good plan - get your weight and BMI in line with your age and height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the delay, the honey and hot water I just sip and it soothes my throat no end. Because there's no medicine in it you can drink as much as you like.

I'll second the apple cider vinegar with "the mother" (acv particles floating around). Two tablespoons in big glass of water every morning. That'll knock it out for sure.

KhunLA Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Is this a self diagnosis, and when is it occuring ? Other things, such as a Hiatal hernia could be the issue (I have) and can easily be repaired if an ongoing, uncontrollable issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
