How can i get ride of a sore throat?

Home treatment is usually all that is needed for a sore throat caused by a virus. These tips may help you feel better.





Gargle with warm salt water to help reduce swelling and relieve discomfort:


Gargle at least once each hour with 1tsp (5g) of salt dissolved in 8fl oz of warm water.


If you have postnasal drip, gargle often to prevent more throat irritation.


Prevent dehydration. Fluids may help thin secretions and soothe an irritated throat. Hot fluids, such as tea or soup, may help decrease throat irritation.


Use a vaporizer or humidifier in your bedroom.


Warm or cool mist may help you feel more comfortable by soothing the swollen air passages. It may also relieve hoarseness. However, don't let your room become uncomfortably cold or very damp.


Use a shallow pan of water to provide moisture in the air through evaporation if you don't have a humidifier. Place the pan in a safe location where no one will trip on it or fall into it.


Do not smoke or use other tobacco products and avoid secondhand smoke. For more information, see the topic Quitting Tobacco Use.


If you suspect that problems with stomach acid may be causing your sore throat, see the topic Heartburn.How can i get ride of a sore throat?
Try gargling with a mixture of 1/2 water and 1/2 hydrogen peroxide. Make sure not to swallow any. Then, take one spoonful of honey...this will coat your throat. Sleep with a humidifier on, if you have one. If you have any mucus drainage in your throat, gargle with salt water instead of the peroxide. Doing so will dry up and drainage which can irritate the throat. If it doesn't get better in a couple of days, then you should head to the doctor as it may be strep. Hope this helps and I hope you feel better soon! :)How can i get ride of a sore throat?
oooh I Got this! use some raspberry tea, apple cider vinagar with mother, and honey. It did wonders for me! It's not as nasty as it sounds though just don't let it get cold, because then it's nasty. oh and don't use throught spray if you have a real bad sore throught because it makes it worse.
If it is only a sore throat and not a throat infection, gargle with salt water
have someone you love make you tea with honey in it
gargle with hydrogen peroxide.. don't drink it though
