Scratchy throat

Wallmart has a product in the vitamin section called "Emergen-C" It is a vitamin C powder that comes in individual packets that you can mix with water. I used those everytime my throat gets scratchy and on the onset of a sore throat. I also use echinecea drops. I don't mix them with anything. Do that for the kids as well. These supplements keeps away from doctor visits. They are healthy alternatives and money savers. My firend likes to use lemon and honey. I use that too. Another thin to do i to drink chicken broth with a dash of paprika! Talk about throat soothers! We also suck on echinecea or elderberry lozenges and drink echinecea tea when throat feels really uncomfortable!
