Question: What's a good way to help cure my sore throat?
It's been two days and it's getting worse, I'm not eating much because it hurts to swallow my food, I can't even eat soup it burns my throat... is there any way to help get rid of this?

Answers:

Gargle with warm salt water. I know it's gross but it really helps.
Heat up some water and pour salt in it.



Keep quiet, get lots of rest, keep warm. Drink lots of liquids, whatever kind of liquid you can, but warm liquids like tea or soup are better. Take aspirin or tylenol or ibuprofen to keep inflammation down.

If it doesn't go away in a few days, go to the doctor. It could be a bacterial infection and you might need antibiotics. In fact it could be strep throat, and it could do a lot of damage to your body.



There are a few things that will help. Gargle with warm salt water will help south it. Take Motrin since it is an anti inflammatory help from the over the counter drug department . Also try taking an allergy pill. Many times people get post nasal drip and don't even know it. This Post Nasal dripping gradually wares away at the normal protective coatings at the back of the mouth and throat. IF YOU have any fever go to the DR as it might be strep and there is no replacement for antibiotics. Strep can cause many many very serious complications as well as scarlet fever that can damage your heart

I have 3 kids and one has had scarlet fever 2 times from the strep infection



IF its not accompanied by a fever than it could be a symptoms of a cold, colds last for up to three weeks. Just drink warm green tea and use some over the counter sore throat spray like cherry chloroseptic it should go away if it accompanied by a fever go see a doctor it could be a virus



First take a shot of vodka, preferably some that's been in your freezer for a while. Then drink some peppermint tea. This might sound odd at first, but think about it. The vodka will help to open up your throat and start to relax your throat muscles. Then the tea will soothe the soreness and help you feel better. This is what I do whenever I have a sore throat. Try it out!



Get PEROXIDE (from pharmacist) to gargle with:
it might hurt a little the very first time but your sore throat will be gone completely -- without any infection in your bronchitis (?) and chest because you will spit your muquous and infections AND GERMS! -- within 3 days -- guaranty!

Go to the doctor first. If you dont, drink tea if you can.



Do you really need to be told to see a doctor?
