What do you do if you have sore throat?

when i have sore throat or tomsilitis, i make a glass of saline solution. take 1/2 teaspooon of salt and dissolve in a glass of lukewarm water. gargle your mouth 2 or 3 times a day until you feel better. or youuse the vinegar solution as another option. mix a 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of vineger to a glass of lukewarm water and do the same as previously told. i hope this helps. if it symptoms persists, consult a doctor for antibiotic prescription.

Try making hot lemonaide with honey. I make that alot when I am sick and it usally helps me to get rid of my sore throat. I hope you get to feeling better.

i had that 2 weeks ago with a very bad cough too. not only i drank a lot of water, but i have to keep on popping strepsils (extra strong) which actually gives me relief temporarily. Try it, it's good!

if the sore throat is accompanied by a high fever I will go to the doctor's and have a throat culture taken to rule out or confirm strep throat. other than that a gargle or two of warm salt water tastes horrid but works to heal the infection.

calamansi juice helps me prevent sore throat..:)

There are many different causes for sore throats. Some causes are easily treated, some require antibiotics, and some cannot be treated at all -- you just have to wait out the cause, although over-the-counter medicines can help relieve the pain.

Drinking lots of fluid can help you.. also try to gargle a lukewarm water with a pich of salt on it, I do that and it works for me.

It seems that you are having a bad sore throat and from the sound of it, its like you are suffering from tonsilitis. Why dont you eat kiwi fruit. It helps in easing the sore at the throat area. And also help to ease the swallowing food after that. Avoid eating chocolate, fried stuff and orange juice for the moment. Coconut juice will also help in cooling off the burning strain in the early morning when you wake up. Oh yes, drink a lot of lukewarm water too. Take care. PS: I used to suffer from the same sensation, so kiwi fruit helps everytime. You must really try that.

I usually drink fluids cold and warm but not hot and not with carbonation as this is hard to swallow with a sore throat. Also garggling warm salted water will sooth a sore throat as well my grandmother told me that and it does work well. I also suck on cough drops helps keep the soreness down and keeps my mouth from drying out.

Warm milk with honey helps me when I have a sore throat. I hope you get well soon.

I usually drink plenty of water to make me feel better. If the case is very serious, I will get some syrup for help. It usually takes some time to have my throat back to normal or healthy state.

With sore throat my family and I use sugarcane vinegar for gurgle. It helps to reduce the swollen. And its effective or we use mouthwash that is reccomended for sore throat like bactidol. (,")

I take medicine and sip on hot chocolate. sorry you are in pain. If it doesn't get better soon, try and go see a doctor. Get well soon.

An old home remedy for sore throats is a tea made with lemon, apple cider vinegar, cayenne, and honey. It is made by adding one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper, the juice of 1/4 lemon, and one teaspoon of honey to a cup of hot water. Stir. Typically, up to four cups a day is suggested.

You should have a little warm water instead of cold water.Have ginger crushed & avoid all types of sweets,oily & cold stuff.

Can go on some cold drinks to ease the pain,the best don't eat solid food, can normaly do so some flower tea,is the effectiveness of anti-inflammatory commentary.

Try adding salt in Coke or Isotonic drinks. Its temporary resolves the pain but really, if I were you, I will definitely run to see the doctor and ask for antibiotics. I think that will work pretty efficiently.
