Sore throat.?

Question:

I need suggestions on what I can do about my sore throat. I have tried tea with honey and I've tried gargling warm salt water. I am a singer, and I believe I just wore out my throat. I get sore throats a lot, and I think I need to go to the doctor. But I can’t today, so for the time being, what could elevate some of the pain I’m in?

Please give me any suggestions.

Thank you.

Answers:
there are many causes of sore throats and it would be hard to discuss them all.
the most common ones are:
youhave a post nasal drip due to a cold or allerigies,
you have a bacterial or viral infection (like strep throat or pharyngitis)
you have stress from yelling or shouting too much
if you sore throat gets worse of doesn't go away within a week, a trip to the doctor is advised
gargle with warm lemon water and not salt
get some lozenges with benzocaine 10%. look at the labels at the drug store..these will offer you temporary relief

Halls will numb the pain for a little bit.. I guess just keep popping those.. and keep drinking hot liquids.

put some water on the stove adn let it boil then put alot of salt in it and gargal lol.idk how to spell it. it ser. works but remrb that teh waters hot lol.ull be fine in no time :) Panadene Forte. Take 2 of them, fixes anything!

lay off the liqour.. if you drink. Try not to talk. And more warm liquids, rather then cold, but not hot like tea. Also try the throught spray.

My grandfather used to let a teaspoon of tabasco sauce slide down the back of his throat. It works for me!
