For really bad heartburn, take a heaping spoon full of yellow mustard! Will burn for a minute but in 2 minutes time NO MORE HEARTBURN! Been doing it for years.
For sore throat from strepthroat, heat equal parts (2-3 tablespoons or so) of white vinegar and honey in the microwave for a few seconds so it mixes well. Sip on it. The honey coats your throat and helps with the pain, and the vinegar kills the bacteria and helps with healing. Tastes a little loud, but works.
Any more?
