Answer 2

Actually there's not much you can do exept to avoid

fried/fast foods, hot beverages (if it's just your throat and not your chest)

and since all inflammations have an acidic nature to them, you can help raise the pH level and therefore reduce inflammation by gargling with strong saltwater prepared by adding a tsp of bicarbonate of soda to it......do this a few times a day.

That's about it...

Good luck
