How do I help my throat?

Yor doctor would have advised you to gargle with saline water 3 to 4 times daily. Pop a painkiller 1 hr before food and manage to have liquid nutritive diet because antibiotics need to be accompanied by proper nutrition. You will tend to starve on account of the miserable pain but you need strength to fight the infection.Till the infection subsides the pain is going to be horrible. Drink plenty of hot water . Keep drinking sips of hot water, hot fluids, every now and then; try steam inhalation in such a way that the outer portions of your neck and throat are exposed to steam. Get well soon!

the only thing I do is gargle with warm salt water that seems to easy the pain but think of this way to if ya cant eat ya lose weight and not saying ya need to for I am the one that needs too lol

i'm sorry to hear that you sick... when i have a sore throat, my parents usually ask me to gorgle warm water with salt as salt can act as a medicine as well to kill the bacteria... or you can drink a lemon mixed with honey... they are also very good to cure sore throat... i hope you will get better soon... take care...

If you have some vinegar and honey in the house try a tbsspoon of Apple cider vinegar and a tbspoon of honey mixed than drink it. Raw honey and undestilled vinegar also have antibotics in them as do garlic. I hope your throat gets to feeling better soon

hi luin. im sorry to hear u are sick.Just drink the dosctors prescribed medicine.if u cant eat hard foods just eat oats etc.never drink cold water this time and avoid sweets.if you do please drink too much warm water. have enough rest. Thanks! get well soon!

Hot toddies help could help you. Hot black tea, whiskey with lemon, and honey. I drink hot toddies when I have a bad cold or sore throat. Hot lemonaide and honey will help your throat.

why don't you use some candymint like strepsils or fisherman's friend strong. You could boil ginger and drink it or if you do not want , try also garggling warm salted water. or better yet ,since you are in the net , research on sore throat remedies ,definitely you will find something far better than what i have suggested.oh, try not to eat anything that might irritate it, and talk less.

Your throat has a streptococcus bacteria that is why it is called strep throat.Strep throat can strike both children and adults, but only about five to ten percent of sore throats are caused by a bacterial infection. Most sore throats are caused by viral illnesses and are not responsive to treatment with antibiotics. A true streptococcal infection of the throat often leads to excruciating throat pain accompanied by difficulty swallowing and even speaking. Fever may be present, and the tonsils are often covered with a whitish layer of pus. Cough and runny nose are not commonly related to strep throat, but it is possible to have a streptococcal infection along with a viral upper respiratory infection and symptoms of a cold. The bacterial infection may result in enlarged, tender lymph nodes in the neck. Children may have an accompanying rash; a streptococcus infection along with a rash is commonly termed scarlet fever. Just follow the doctors advice, yes, drink antibiotics,for faster recovery. You can overcome that, just drink the antiobiotics on required dozage and time.

I have just recovered from sore throat few days ago. I took antibiotics as prescribed by my doctor and religiously followed the dosage. I really became weak for several days but I had my tonsils cured. I am taking now ginger tea which I believe is a natural healing herbal drink that soothes my throat and gives relaxing effect. I add lemon and honey to have a flavor.

Right now, my child is undergoing medication for that culprit illness. She can't swallow and drink, but I noticed that she can eat something like chicken soup and other soft foods. For the meantime, you have to just take lots of rest.
