Home care for sore throat

Regardless of the cause of a sore throat, there are some home care steps that people can take to ease their discomfort!. These include:


taking acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain; aspirin should not be given to children because of its association with increased risk for Reye's Syndrome, a serious disease


gargling with warm double strength tea or warm salt water made by adding 1 tsp of salt to 8 oz (237 ml) of water


drinking plenty of fluids, but avoiding acid juices like orange juice, which can irritate the throat (sucking on popsicles is a good way to get fluids into children)


eating soft, nutritious foods like noodle soup and avoiding spicy foods


refraining from smoking


resting until the fever is gone, then resuming strenuous activities gradually


a room humidifier may make sore throat sufferers more comfortable


antiseptic lozenges and sprays may aggravate the sore throat rather than improve it

Alternative treatment

Alternative treatment focuses on easing the symptoms of sore throat using herbs and botanical medicines!.
