Question: How do I help get rid of my sore throat?
On saturday, my throat started to tickle and I thought, Uh oh im getting sick. That night I had a fever and sunday, Ibuprofen was my best friend. Now its Monday and my throat hurts pretty bad. It hurts to swallow. I know that it is red. Gr.. How do I help soothe it and in turn get rid of it? Do I have to go to the doctor to fix this?
Answers:
Just drink a lot of hot water, tea with lemon, honey or raspberry (natural) jam c:
I'm sick too:D
Maybe you need to see your doctor.
But for now gargle your throat with salty water several times a day. Also swish honey (preferably manuka honey) around your throat and slowly swallow.
Agree with Sean, Salt water gargle is a good quick fix. It's not a long-term solution but it might help you sleep at night or get through the day. See your physician as soon as possible.
Good Luck.
