What are ways of healing a sore throat?!


Question: I've had a sore throat for like 4 days already and its really annoying cuz I've already lost my appetite because it hurts whenever I swallow.

All I do is eat a little, sleep, and take medicine but its like a waste of time cuz nothing is working!

What other stuff help heal it faster???? Help please!

I personally use several home remedies. First, if you like lemon then take some, dip it in a bit of sugar and suck on it, or if thats too strong then make some tea with a bunch of lemon in it (sweatened if you like) that really helps relax the throat. Also gargle water with baking soda in it. I personally gargle water with two table spoons of peroxyde in it (its not so bad and it works great). Also, though american doctors will tell you that its ok to eat and drink cold things, but don't listen to them because cold irritates the throat. Try keeping it warm with tea, a scarf if its nippy outside or just for the sake of keeping it warm and you should be alright.

put sugar in a bowl
and a little water on the top
and drink it.
works.

warm water, honey, and lemon....mix it up and have gargle

Blow BOJ. And some Night Quil.

hmm...try mixing extra honey with a hot toddy

Tylenol, gargle with warm salty water.

Nothing will heal it faster, it has to run its course. However, you can do things to alleviate the symptoms. Throats sprays or lozenges are good. If it hurts for longer than a week or so, see a doc. Hope you feel better!

My mum always swore by a cup of ginger tea.

Some people have tried a spoonful of honey just to try and soothe the throat.

Try and drink plenty of water even though you won't feel like it.

I drink lemon tea. Clears it right up!

Drink liquids, sleep and try to listen to your body.

If it's been going on 4 days now though, it's time to see a doctor.

take some hot water put it in your mouth and rinse.....but make sure it get way back ther,or drink tea it dosnt sound like it will work but it does

amoxicillan. Gargle with salt and lemon juice

Gargling with Listerine or warm salt water helps. :D Also try the sore throat lozenges like Halls Defense with Vitamin C - they're really good; they won't cure it or make it go away, but it'll give you some relief anyway.

gargle warm salt water

go see the doctor be4 its gettin' worst or go get sum cough drop.

drink some hot honey with anything it but it has to be a little thick the honey will coat your throat nd make it not hurt any more

Boil some lemonade to take the fizz out and add a teaspoon of honey works a treat .............

taking antibiotics ( needs prescription) eriththromycin, eriththrocin. Beats sore throat.

about 2 tbs or so of salt in a glass of warm water and gargle all of it. add more water as the salt falls and collects at the bottom of the glass. it really works well. repeat as needed.

things that make it feel better would include warm salt water.

Consider that you might have Strep throat, and antibotics might be needed.

i know a way to help lessen the hurting. what you do is you eat really hot soup. also if you take cough drops it helps numb your throat along with the spray. but im pretty sure if you drink salt water that helps i hear it does something to your throat, try it out
feel better!

I take Mucinex and Claritin. My doctor told me that the soreness is caused by drainage. Usually I can tell a difference within a day or so. Don't let it go to long though because it may be something more serious. See a doc if it doesn't get better!

At night before you go to bed, and in the morning when you wake up, dissolve some salt in warm water. Gargle with the salt water mixture. (Don't swallow!) That's what my father would have us do. He is a microbiologist, and it usually works. If it's not working, then you might want to get your throat cultured to see if you have any illness besides just a sore throat.

there is a bad flue going around, so most likely it is nothing to worry about. if it keeps up for more than a week though, go to a doctor

gargle (don't drink it) salted water for about 5 min every day until it goes away and drink lots of herbal teas with honey.

get some zinc lozenges. They are really good for a soar throat and don't only soothe but speed up the healing process. Also, heat up some water and put lemon juice in it. I like to put it into one of those bottles that you can squirt so that I can squirt it into the back of my throat. Hope you get better soon!

if its been for four days then you should go to the doctor cause you probably have strep.

trust me on this..you do.

they'll just give amoxiscillen. dont know how to spell it. the liquid kind is good haha cause it tastes like bubble gum but then after it gets sour so that kinda gross.

get the pills.
hope this helps.
:)

Gargle salt water, take some Halls or soothing spray, and see a doctor because you may have strep throat (I get that a lot) then you will get medicine and it will go away :).

Don't forget to get lots o' rest and drink liquids (so you don't get dehydrated, even though it hurts, it helps)

Feel better, I know I hate it, I get Strep Throat a lot, so I have sore throats all the time.

Get lemon and bee honey. Put the lemon and honey in a cup. And drink it.

it takes time for everything to work
what u r doing is all you can do
if you r just willing to waite
also the medicine takes time to effect on ur body
so my point is that whaat u r doing is the best and just waite and u will get better

take some water..add salt...gurrgle it in your mouth/, this might feel wierd, and then spit keep doing this until something like excess mucus comes out of your mouth, i doubt it will, this only hapens if ur really sick
