How to make sore throat feel better?!


Question: How to make sore throat feel better?
I got a sore throat this morning, nothing unbearable though. I've always tried gargling with salt water, but I feel no difference except a salty tongue. I heard antibiotics were bad too because it will strengthen the bacteria...

If I leave it alone, how long will it take to heal?

Answers:

Try a little honey, my mom told me to try it when i got strep, it helped soothe it. if its just a sore throat it shouldnt last long, but if it lasts for a few days, gets worse and you start to feel sicker it could be strep. i have heard strep usually goes away on its own if you opt not to go to the doctor for antibiotics...just be careful and use your common sense. if you end up feeling super lousy for several days, it would probably be in your best interest to go see a doctor. good luck, hope you feel better soon! :)
