Take about a quarter or less glass of water. Stir in about 1/8 spoon of cayenne pepper. Stir well and toss it down. Try to just hit the back of the throat. Your eyes will water, but in no time your throat will feel wonderful.
I’ve been doing this for over 50 years and it has always worked, well worth trying.
