Well is this the only symptom you are having? How long have you had it? I can give you a home made remedy that can help but it won't take it away. You need to check with a Dr to see if you do not have strep throat. Is it a sore throat from a cold? these are all questions that if you were my patient I would have to ask. However my homeopathic remedy is use two tablespoons of honey, and pop it in the micro for about 30 secs then squeeze the juice of a whole lemon into the honey and stir drink it up fast without stopping. It will be kind of harsh tasting hard on the throat. But drink it, wait for about 10 mins then drink some room temp water. this will have eased up on the "fire" in your throat. It is a remedy that I Rx for alot of my patients when they don't want to take meds just for that. also I recommend using "theraflu" The drink packets. those have Tylenol in them and it is in a liquid form you can take that as directed on the box and Drink the honey and lemon as often as you need it. If the soreness goes on for more than a few days see a dr. Most sore throats are caused by a viral illness but if it is a bacteria you may need an antibiotic
Gargle with warm salt water.
The doctor recommends this...take 500MG of Ibuprofen three times a day...that will lessen it.
Get some sore throat lozenges as well...if it's really bad and you've had it for a while go to the doc, it could be strep and you need antibiotics for that.
honey will soothe
try cough drops or cough syrup. and take ibuprofen. if you've had it for a few days now and the pain doesn't get better you should see a doctor. also, check for drainage in your throat, redness, or swelling of your tonsels. if you have any of those you should probably see a doctor.
Lemon and honey tea, gargle warm salt water, use chloraseptic spray, it can be found at most drug stores. I'd rather suffer or go the cheap route and use the salt water gargle. I like tea with honey only. Good Luck, try not to talk too much as it can irritate an already irritated throat. Feel better soon! =)
