    i was told from someone that spicy foods and sour foods are not good for sore throats.

    I know the spicy foods are bad, but are sour foods?

    i think since most sour foods are of the citrus variety, that's why it would be bad...

    i doubt it would make your sore throat worse overall, but you'd probably be aggravating it for no reason. stick to mild, unspicy foods.

    break out the ol' chicken soup.

    dunno about straight sour, but I heard lemon+honey does wonders for a sore throat
