Stir 1/2 teaspoon salt in an 8-ounce glass of warm water for use as a gargle for sore throats. gargle several times a day. also cold things like Popsicles can help and a numbing spray like chloriseptic. If you have fever you may need medical attention. If you have itchy eyes, runny nose or pressure in sinuses you may get some relief for over the counter allergy medicine. Use the salt water it does help.

Gargle with WARM Salt Water.\n\nOLD WIVES CURE - Mother-IN-Law\nPut a quarter size amount of IODINE on the inside part of both wrists. Do this before going to bed. \n\nTalk with your doctor about this. Could be a sinus infection. The drainage is causing the sore throat.

If you continue feeling like this...you should seek medical attention.  Over a year ago my throat was bothering me for over a week...I didn't do anything about it and ended up losing my voice for two weeks.  I finally sought medical attention when I lost my voice and found out that I had a polyp on my vocal cord.  So definitely if it continues to be a problem...Go see a doctor!!!

Go to the ER or Nearest Immediate Care Clinic. Chances are you have strep or tonsilitis but throat swelling can be an allergic reaction to something you ate or took. If that is the case you will need to go to the ER.

The problem with strep throat is not that it is a fever-inducing, terribly sore throat, that makes you feel awful; but rather that the infection can spread to your heart or kidneys and cause significant long term damage.\n\nIf you are running a fever greater than 100 F, you have swollen, tender lymph nodes under your jaw, and you see white spots (exudates) on the back of your throat, then go in and get an antibiotic to address the problem.  If you don't have at least two of these symptoms then it is unlikely to be strep throat.  \n\nIn that case:  Gargle with warm salt water.  Get your rest.  Drink plenty of fluids.  Use Ibuprofen or Tylenol for the discomfort.\n\nGood luck.

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.

This is a common symptom of pharyngitis, or inflammation of the back of the throat.  The nerves cross-over with some of those to the ear canal, so pain in the throat can be referred to the ear and pain in the ear can be referred to the throat.  If you have pain when you swallow, it is likely the throat.  On occasion, inflammation of the throat can also affect the normal drainage of the middle ear, but the ear pain would be constant throbbing with pressure, which can be unbearable (not just noticeable with swallowing).\n\nAlthough strep throat is possible, pharyngitis is usually VIRAL, and antibiotics will not help.  Warning signs of strep throat include high (103+) fevers, body aches, swollen lymph nodes in the neck and foul breath.  Viral pharyngitis usually resolves within a few days if you tough it out.  Fevers, chills, body aches or inability to swallow your own saliva are all worrisome signs which should be seen right away.  Otherwise, you can go with a diet of warm liquids, get some lozenges, and take it easy for a few days.\n\nHope you feel better soon!

Take some benedryl,asap.You don't want to take the chance of it becoming worse.Anaphalaxis is not fun, believe me! If at all possible, try to get on a long acting anti histamine.Claritin(loretidine) is over the counter now, and acts pretty fast.Most antihistimines will help with the throat irritation.You could also try drinking a cold drink.The cold will soothe the inflamation.

It sounds like the same thing I am dealing with, I have had laryngitis 3 times in the last 6 weeks and my throat feels raw.\nI have been  to the doc and am on my second week of antibiotics and yesterday even got a shot.\nI was told to call back at end of week and if I still cannot talk, next step is ear nose throat specialist, where they will put a scope down my throat to check my vocal chords. I am hoping I feel better before that.\nHave you been checked for mono? That was another possibility.\nFeel better.
