Have you been to your doctor about this? Because he/she is the only one you should be taking advise from. And he/she can properly check out if nothing serious is going on with your throat. But an innocent trick is; drinking tea with a spoonfull of honey. Again, if you are concerned with this matter; go to your doctor. That's the safest thing to do. If you ask for some alternatives for medicines, he should be able to give you some options. I hope your throat clears up. I've had awfull pain to my throat aswell. So i know how it might feel for you. Good luck...

I just had the flu and I took: Nyquil, Comtrex, Vitamin C, drank a lot of fluids, and I also took Augmentin antibiotics which knocked the flur right out.  Also, drining Theraflu in the nightime is good too and for your sore throat i would recommend making some honey, butter and lemon mixed together and that soothes the throat. Good luck and hope you feel better

Drink lots of cool/cold fluids and use a humidifier, especially during sleep.  Use throat lozenges and gargle with a salt water solution....if the sore throat persists, see a doctor.  Anitbiotics and in some cases steroids may be needed.  Most sore throats respond to antibiotics, however there is a disease called epiglottitis that will need immediate intervention with steroids.

There are many reasons your throat could be sore. It may be acid reflux. Taking Pepcid AC "may" alleviate it.\nMaybe you're sleeping under a fan? Try turning it off.\nMaybe the air in your home is too dry & you need to run a humidifier.\nMaybe you have post nasal drip & need to try a sinus med.\nGo buy something called Kefir. It's a drinkable yogurt. 9 X more potent that yogurt, & a hint more tart. It boosts the immune system. You can also try some goldenseal/echinacea.\nGood luck. Hopefully, something will ring a bell...

You can try a few things, drinking some hot water with some lemon squeezed into it can help. You can also try gargling some warm salt water, this can soothe your throat, just don't swallow the water, you can also use a a cold compress of eucalyptus oil.\nAlso, fresh pineapple actually has an anti inflammatory effect.\nFailing all else, go to the pharmacy or doctor and get some throat lozenges or something else, the pharmacy sell antiseptic throat gargles which are actually very good.

yeah, I was gonna say salt water, hot as well. Yucky, I know. I also say listerine.sp. I know thats yucky too. But when I have a sore throat, I don't care... I just want to make it feel better. Actually, you might want to go see a doctor if you have insurance. Could have strep or somthing else??? Thats kind of a long time to be dealing with this. Also try motren....   :)   get better poor thing.

stop singing, rest a while, take only warm substances avoid cold stuff...this does it for me...A mixture of honey, ginger and garlic crushed together into a paste...lick a bit and then sip some warm water, continue doing this, as you feel your throat healing, sing some simple notes...it really does work, try it and give me a feed back.

This may be the start of a cold...Usually what a sore throat means for me. Go out and get Zicam throat lozengers. They will sooth your throat and contain zinc to help you from either getting a cold altogether or shortening the duration. Airborne is also a good product, but it more for colds. It's a tablet that dissolves in water like Alka-Seltzer and contains all kinds of vitamins & herbs to help shorten cold.\n\nHope this helps,\n\nMax

It could be caused from many things..a cold, sinus problems, dry air, etc. One thing I do when I get a sore throat is sip some chamomile tea. It really helps! Otherwise, I would suggest taking some pain relievers and sucking on throat drops or just drinking anything warm in general. Hope my advice helps!
