What can you do if your throat hurts?

Answer 1

You can always stay home and sleep and drink a lot of water. Nasal drip can sometimes be prevented by over-the-counter antihistamines. For minor cases that accompany colds and flu, there are anesthetic cough drops and sprays.

Severely painful or swollen throats should always be examined by a medical professional, who may prescribe antibiotics to treat serious infections.

Answer 2

If your throat hurts its usually a bacterial infection. Take a cough medicine which also works with a sore throat. If you suspect that it is strep throat (Badly sore throat, fever) see your doctor to get a treatment for it. Unless it is strep, you could also wait and it will go away over time.

Answer 3

Make sure you brush your teeth to keep germs away and gargle warm water and salt to help the swelling or irritation. it may sting a bit but it will feel better after its done and drink plenty of water

Answer 4

Swallow a bit of honey if you have it. Honey naturally draws moisture to the skin, and it will help soothe a burned throat.

Follow up with a cold drink, preferably just water. Sodas, lemonade, juices etc. are usually high in sodium or acidic qualities, and it will only irritate the problem more.

If burning persists, or the throat begins to swell to the point that it inhibits breathing, call 9-1-1.

Hope this helps!
