Mix of benzocaine into some warm tea and sip it until your throat is numb.
When the numbness subsides sip some more.

What? Why not just remove the benzocaine and smell a hot cuppa tea? That'll help your nose, and drinking it will numb your throat. I see no reason to add benzocaine.

It's a localized anesthetic ya dip, it's an actual medical remedy, not some folksy bullshit herbal spirit sage chakra aligning technique that was developed by monks in a nonspecific nondescript country.

The tea is only there to dilute it, which makes administering it easier, and it's only warm to make it less thick, and even then it's only tea instead of warm water for flavor.

Chamomile tea is naturally soothing, and is one of the oldest herbs to be used medicinally for conditions like sore throats. It’s often used for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and astringent properties.

Some studies have shown that inhaling chamomile steam can help relieve symptoms of a cold, including a sore throat. Drinking chamomile tea can offer these same benefits. It can also stimulate the immune system, aiding your body in fighting off whatever caused your sore throat in the first place.

Anesthesia doesn't aid your immune system you moron.

EDIT: sorry, I misread that.

I thought you were talking about the way western medicine has a tendency to make the body more dependent on it, and less self sufficient.

Anyway, benzocaine is the stuff you want, and the benefits offered by the tea itself are minute and trivial.

Thanks for the tips. Woke up with a sore throat this morning so I got some water and went back to bed till noon.

I wanted to sleep in after a series of nights I didn't get much sleep

You say that, yet chamomile tea cured me completely when I showed similar symptoms last time I was sick. It was in the beginning phase of the sickness too, the stage where you know the worst is yet to come. In 30 minutes I'm gonna go to the store and buy some, then I'm gonna have breakfast.

So if you don't care about anything anyone is going to suggest, already dealt with the same symptoms and already 'cured' yourself of them using primitive pseudomedicine, then why did you ask for advice?

Having a sore throat doesn't mean you're sick, and clearly it wasn't that bad then and isn't now.
Tea is an afterthought, not a medicine and 10/10 doctors agree.

Do you have ADHD or something? How about actually reading stuff people write in their entirety instead of bits and pieces and then making up a theory of what it's about? I'm not asking for advice.

Medicine is what works. Do you know the cure for certain poisons and venoms? It's antivenom that can only be found in certain animals. You're overestemating humans' medicines and think that they're the end all be all instead of looking at actual science. You're a sheeple, a hipster, or whatever you wanna call those who think the thoughts of those who don't know much about anything so they put their faith in industrial science.

If using localized anesthesia instead of drinking a cup of tea to numb pain makes you sheep, then sign me the fuck up to get sheered.

Its people's distrust of medicine that disgusts me.
If someone complains about a headache I can offer them three different drugs that I keep in my medicine cabinet just for that, and if they tell me they don't trust medicine then I tell them not to bitch about the pain they're in.

Sorry, but if chamomile was a magical cure then we wouldn't have acetaminophen.

Wtf, you're being a hypocrite. If you take the leaves of some tree, dry them then put them in a liquid, that's tea. If those leaves have an effect on you, it's medicine.

If someone has a headache you won't hesitate to give them drugs, and that's the problem. Instead of looking at it logically, pragmatically, or scientifically, you choose to rely on your miracle drugs without a second thought. The reasonable thing to do if you have a headache is figure out why you have it.

Chamomile worked for me once, so I wanted to try it again. It didn't work in the long haul, so my conclusion is that it's not a cure, but a small buff.

The reasonable thing to do if you have a headache is figure out why you have it. If you've drank very little then maybe that's the cause, and the solution is a simple glas of water. Maybe your head hurts because when you fell it shook your brain, and you had a concussion.
