My voice teacher swears by a remedy of 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of honey, directly followed by 1 tablespoon of vinegar. It's a lot to take down at once, but it works! You can put it in warm water and try it like tea; but it's awful that way. I say just go for it and get it over with! And if you get the gross mucas buildup, try putting a little warm water in your hand, tossing in a DASH of salt, and taking one snort with each nostril. It burns like crazy at first, but you'll thank me later! It's alot stronger than the saline spray at the store, and works alot better; and as long as you don't do it more than twice a day, it won't harm you at all. :) Get well soon!
just tell maureen you forgot her cowbell because you were busy getting stoned. she'll understand.
