Scratchy Throat!

I read in Prevention that fresh pineapple is the best thing. I have good luck with it. Depending on where you live, there is a tea called Throat Coat. Among other things it has slippery elm in it. I chew on candied ginger. One other thing that is good for this condition is horseradish. If you do not like to eat horseradish,you can just open the jar and smell it. I hope some of this helps. Get to feeling better soon.
