I am a massive gargling wimp. I just can't bear having something that far back in my throat (yes I know how that sounds, no I don't have the energy to change it). I would happily spend £20 on a product that would numb it without need for gargling.

Anyone know a fail-safe sore throat cure?
Paracetamol should dull the pain somewhat.
I take various things for preventative purposes, which may/may not work. Such as garlic tablets, and zinc (high-strength, 15mg zinc gluconate from Holland & Barrett).
Have you tried Chlorosceptic spray?

Thanks George. 
I think I need to start taking multi-vitamins. I'm working hard at the moment and starting to get very run down.

No - what's that? That sounds like a non-gargling alternative!

Is that your very best chatup line?

I've got some! I went and cried on a pharmacist, who gave me some basically to make me shut up and go away. Thanks
I am on the 2k sport forums talking about WWE 2k14! Can't wait for the game.
Ben is in a waiting room to get his curiously irritated eye looked at.

No I have other games to play on the ps3 you know.
Do you play 'Pirate Pete and his Grizzled Men', David?
