How do i get rid of my sore throat or at least the pain!?!


Question: How do i get rid of my sore throat or at least the pain!.?
Answers:
There are many ways. The easiest is to gargle with warm salt water. Put warm water (not hot) in a mug, add a teaspoon of salt and stir. Once the salt dissolves, use it to gargle. You can do this as often as you need to.

You can use cough drops or lozenges that are made for a sore throat. Some people get relief with zinc lozenges (I can't use them, they make me sick to my stomach). Chloraseptic makes a numbing spray and lozenges, but you have to follow label directions when it comes to dose and how often you use it.

Some people get relief from drinking warm tea with honey. I've known family members who recommend adding a shot of Rock n' Rye (liquor) to the tea.

You can also eat cool, soothing foods like fresh fruit (try to skip anything acidic like lemons and oranges. Grapes and melon are really effective).

I would skip ice cream, but that's up to you. Sometimes dairy products cause the mucus in your sinuses to thicken, making draining your sinuses more difficult. If popsicles are something you want to try, it certainly might help. My son eats them to help with sore throats, plus he gargles with warm water and a dash of ginger.Health Question & Answer

The best remedy is a hot drink ideally with lemon and honey, that should sooth the pain. Otherwise antiseptic lozenges can help remove the pain, but won't cure the problem.

Eat smaller and less abrasive foods, which are easier to swallow such as yoghurt.

And a personal favourite remedy is to gargle TCP (its highly antiseptic). Put a teaspoon of it with 5 teaspoons of hot water. Gargle 3 times a day (but don't swallow) and the pain and sore throat should be gone in no time :)Health Question & Answer

For the pain, temporarily, something very cold like ice cream.

To cure the infection, the best alternative way is to buy a propolis spray or nose drops and spray your throat every hour for a whole day or two until the infection subsides.

Propolis nose drops are good too if spray is not available. Just put enough so that they glide down your throat.

All the best!

I get sore throats a lot, and loose my voice a lot too.
I find the best things are..
~Drink really hot tea, no milk, no sugar.
~Have a zinc lozenge when you can't have tea, although they may taste bad they do make your throat numb.
~Sleep! Sleep is necessary.
~Make sure you get your vitamins.
~Stay warm.

These work well, give them a try.
