I really like this. Would be great if you could compile a complete A to Z of all the old wives tails that work – I always believed there was something in them!! Well done.

I always use salt water for a sore throat and it does work every time. I gave it to my children too, but they hated it.

I always put ice on their necks when they had a nose bleed and pressed the upper part of the nose, not the lower part of the nose. that always worked.

A teaspoonful of vinegar works instantly for curing hiccups. I’ve never known it to fail. Just close your eyes and imagine you’re eating french fries!

Well written and interesting. Confirms some of the treatments that I have found beneficial over the years. Ever heard of rubbing Vicks Vaporub on your feet for a cold…works well.

Acetylecysteine is not an antibiotic. It’s a mucolytic, an agent that acts dissolving mucus.

Warm water and salt work every time for my sore throat – good to know it’s not just “the placebo effect.” Interesting article!

Thanks for a very entertaining and informative article. I’ve always used a heaped teaspoon of sugar as an instant hiccup cure and it invariably works!
