the CURE depends on the cause - virus, bacteria, vocal abuse...  you'd have to see a physician for a diagnosis and appropriate recommendation for treatment/prescription.\n\nRelief of the soreness can be obtained through over-the-counter pain medications, like Tylenol or Advil, as well as by lozenges or sprays that contain analgesics (they usually taste bad, though!). Salt water gargles are also nasty to taste, but help kill germs and speed recovery time.

There are throat lozenges that contain anti-bacterials (I don't know of any that contain anti-virals), that treat as well as soothe.

A sore throat shouldn't be going on for this long. If you have not used any type of medication already to soothe it, one thing you can do is gargle with salt water. It would be best to get to your doctor to see what's going on.

yeah, you need to give your larynx a rest.  Keep talking at a minimum.  Drink lots of fluids, I heard gargling salt water might help, but I don't know.  Hot lemonade works for sore throats, I don't know about laryngitis.  Did you go to the M.D.?

One of the most effective methods to kill bacteria in the back of your throat is to gargle with a glass of saltwater, every hour. Drink tea. Tea with lemon is supposed to help soothe your throat, but not cure it. Get plenty of fluids and rest.

Gargle with warm salt water, drink plenty of warm fluids, and suck on throat lozenges.  If your sore throat is due to a virus, there's not much you can do about it, your body has to fight it on its own.  If it's bacterial, (such as strep throat) then you may need an antibiotic.  So if you have this sore throat for more than 3 days without any improvement (ie. the pain is worse or the intensity of the pain has not changed), then you should see your doctor.

Boil water, add some natural bee honey, and add a lime or a lemon.  A harsher more natural way to get rid of a sore throat rubb your tonsels with salt and the next day your throat will feel better.

Just because you have a cough and a sore throat doesn't mean an antibiotic will help. If it hangs on for more than a week w/out getting better see your doctor. If it is bacterial they can give you antibiotics. If it is viral you will just have to wait it out.

It depends how sever is the case. However Numerous herbals can be used to treat laryngitis. Herbal lozenges and throat sprays can provide immediate relief to a raw throat. Herbs that are effective for laryngitis include thyme, horehound, cardamom, plantain, cinnamon, and eucalyptus. Commercial cough medicines that are effective include herbs such as anise, fennel, and peppermint. A person can gargle with warm salt water and slippery elm bark, wild cherry, and mallow.\nEchinacea tincture taken in water is recommended to boost the immune system. The tincture consists of 10 drops (1/8 teaspoon or 5/8 ml) of the herb in a glass of water. This mixture is taken frequently, or 5 ml three to four times a day. Antiviral herbs such as usnea, lomatium, and ligusticum may help speed recovery. Poke should be taken as a last resort. It’s a strong herb that should be taken only in small amounts and under the direction of a healthcare professional. However, there are many other herbs that can be purchased as packaged cold and throat remedies or used to prepare home treatments.

Anything causing inflammation to the throat, or more specifically the pharynx, might cause that symptom. Many can cause this inflammation i.e. viral / bacterial infection. It's possibly "pharyngitis". \n\nIf it's viral, it's treated symptomatically.. u can take cough supressants, take some antiinflammatory (such as ibuprofen), sometimes antiseptic gargles can help. If it's bacterial, u need antibiotics.\n\nBut if u have fever u should see a doctor.

* Drink lot's of water (8-12 glasses). Make sure the water is room temperature to warm. Water is a very effective remedy for laryngitis because it helps to lubricate the larynx (voice box).   \n* Add fresh lemon to your tea and drink as many cups as you want. The lemon will help loosen mucus in throat. \n* An effective home remedy for laryngitis is to mix a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in half glass of warm water. Drink every hour for seven hours. \n*Another excellent remedy for laryngitis is made from onion syrup, honey and lemon. To make the onion syrup: slice three large onions and put them in four or five cups of water; simmer until syrupy; strain. Next, put five or six tablespoonful of the syrup into a glass of warm water, along with a tablespoon of honey and a dash of lemon. Sip slowly. \n* Avoid talking for a while. if you have to speak then do it quietly. Its better to speak quietly than to whisper.

Drown your cold with orange juice...vitamin C is good but people don't know how much to take....you have to take 1000 mg each hour until you get diarreha for the pills to help. But the juice keeps you hydrated and it helps your throat. Also..Lemon Juice....put a tablespoon in your mouth and hold it...sore throat germs cannot live in lemon juice.\nRest as much as you can...your lungs and sinuses cannot heal if you are taxing other parts of your body.
