Do you have a sore throat? Do you feel the tonsils inflamed? Have you starting to cough?
A 250 ml cup
➡️ It’s a traditional remedy made from hot milk, egg yolk, and sugar, used to soothe throat irritation and support mucosal healing, due to its high vitamin A content.
➡️ Because the milk is consumed hot, honey would lose its beneficial properties at high temperatures and act merely as a sweetener. Sugar is heat-stable and doesn’t degrade in hot liquids.
➡️ Evening is best, before bedtime, as it calms the throat and promotes restful sleep.
➡️ No. Only the yolk is used, as it has the emollient and nutritive role. Raw egg white is hard to digest and has no therapeutic effect in this context.
➡️ Yes, for children old enough to safely consume raw egg, and only with a pediatrician’s approval.
➡️ Yes. The creamy texture and fats in the yolk form a protective layer, reducing discomfort when swallowing.
➡️ It can be used for 2–3 evenings in a row, but if symptoms persist or worsen, medical advice is necessary.
➡️ Only if there’s no suspected bacterial infection and the fever is mild. Medical consultation is strongly recommended in such cases.
➡️ Yes, due to the sugar content. Diabetics should avoid this remedy or consult a doctor before modifying it.
➡️ Not recommended regularly, as egg yolk is high in cholesterol.
➡️ Yes – nausea, bloating, or digestive discomfort may occur in sensitive individuals or with excessive use.
➡️ Yes, but not boiling – just hot enough to lightly cook the yolk, creating a thick texture without fully scrambling it.
➡️ Yes. Mixing the yolk with sugar first helps homogenize the texture and prevents clumps when hot milk is added.
➡️ Yes, especially for dry, irritating coughs – it soothes the throat and reduces scratchiness.
➡️ Yes, as long as there are no contraindications like diabetes or high cholesterol, it's a nourishing and gentle remedy for sore throat relief.
