Question: What is the fastest and most effective way to cure a sore throat?

ive been having the same experience with my throat since the beggining of 2010 but ive got same thing again and i dont think ive ever fully cured it because i get it too often. It starts off by when i swallow it feels like someone ever so slightly is brushing the inside of my throat with sand paper. This usaully gets worse in the night when its constantly there even without swallowing. This causes me to wake up very often or not be able to fall asleep. The next day i always miss school due to tiredness. I would love this to stop so i wouldnt have to keep suffering this horrible pain. :)

Answers:

It sounds like you have Gastric Reflux.

You said "This causes me to wake up very often ..." Acid is rising up as you are sleeping and irritating your throat. This acid COULD also enter your airways and get into your lungs. This is called "aspiration". Do you have mild Asthma as well ? - the reflux is causing it !

When you go to bed at night you need to sleep with 2 or 3 pillows - virtually sitting up.

See YOUR doctor so that they can properly diagnose your Gastric Reflux.

Please note : a person can have Gastric Reflux and not have a sore oesophagus or ulcers - your LES - lower (o)esophageal sphincter is 'slacking off' and allowing excess stomach acid to rise up out of your stomach.

A persistently sore throat - like yours - is always cause for concern. Instead of chewing up a clove of garlic - you should consider seeing a DOCTOR because - WORST CASE SCENARIO - this could be cancer.

Garlic isn't going to cure cancer - but it WILL delay you seeking qualified medical treatment.

I am a physician

This is an old sicilian remedy.. and it will work. Take one clove of garlic (raw) and peel it. Have a glass of water on standby (room temp). Toss the garlic clove in your mouth and chew it (with molars) for about approx 15 seconds. Once you have done this proceed to drink water slowly. You will definitely feel "a tingle" going down and your chest will feel warm (and your breath.. well) but i will guarantee you that your sore throat will be gone. Repeat twice a day for three days.
