It happens for sensitive throat.Avoid pollution.Drink hot water and dont take milk and curd rice.

If you suppose to get it then drink water a lot.Due to dryness of throat too sore throat happens.Goggling with salt,water mixture doesnt work in severe stage.

Better consult a physician and get tablets.

Answer 7

boil some water, and put in about 1tblsp of honey and 1/2 tblsp of lemon (it might need adjustment, but u should be able to taste both the lemon and the honey) and drink that b4 bed. drink as much water as u can, use some cough drops, and rest the vocal chords

Answer 8

Gaurgle with a glass of warm water with just a pinch of salt in it, every 4 hours or so. If there is no relief &/or u get fever, see ur doc.

Answer 9

Buy some local, raw, unpasteurized honey, and take about a tablespoon, (while lying down flat), and try to hold it in the back of your throat as long as you can, then swallow it.

The raw honey has natural antibiotics (supplied by the bees) that keep the honey from rotting in the hive. These natural antibiotics will help the body, but pasteurization kills the antibiotics, along w/ the other "good stuff" in the honey.

You won't get sick(er) from the raw honey, but will benefit from it. It can't hurt to take like a teaspoon of it each day!

All the best to you. (and enjoy your prom!!)

Answer 10

vitamin C and lots of orange juice or any juice and water.

and soup. no iced drinks. or really cold drinks.

Answer 11

Gargle with warm salt water every 2-3 hours, the salt kills germs in your throat.

Also, drink a hot lemon drink made with hot water, lemon juice, honey and a dash of brandy in it. The lemon juice helps your throat, honey will soothe it, and the brandy will help you sweat it out if you are getting a cold.

Goodluck sweety, I hope your prom is awsome and that the nasty sore throat has gone by then xx

Answer 12

I know 3 things that work well.

1) drink vinegar and bean juice-I don't know why but drinking the liquid part of 3 or 4 bean salad has always given me relief.

2) Horehound-this herb used to be the key ingredient in cough drops and numerous candies.  It tastes rather foul though so you may not enjoy this treatment.

3)Heated up honey with lemon juice

Answer 13

I find the best remedy for a sore throat is to let an aspirin disolve in my mouth, and then swollow it without water.  It relieves the pain within a few minutes.

Answer 14

I'd love to know the answer to this. I frequently get them, and yesterday I was told that I've got tonsillitis (again) The only thing that's soothing it is ice lollies, but I ran out of them a couple of hours ago, so I'm off work sulking.

Answer 15

gargle with warm water and salt , instant relief!!
