The best way to get relief from a sore throat is by trying to reduce the infection in the throat. This can be done by gargling with different mixtures. You can find out which works for you the best by trying out the following methods
- Add half a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water and dissolve it. Gargle for a few seconds with every mouthful till the water in the glass is finished.
- Gargle with your everyday mouthwash for a few seconds. The alcohol content in it is the disinfectant. If you need to especially go out a buy a mouthwash, try Listerine, it helps.
- Pour about 1 tablespoonful of apple cider vinegar and mix it in a glass of warm water. Gargle and spit till the water in the glass finishes.
- Mango bark also helps in getting rid of a sore throat. Mix a small amount of mango bark in water and gargle with it several times a day.
- You can also gargle with a cup of ginger tea, peppermint tea or sage tea after letting them to cool down.
You can also get rid of a sore throat by drinking in several concoctions which provide relief from an aching throat. Mix one tablespoon of honey, two tablespoons of lemon juice, and a little sugar in a glass of really warm water. Mix the contents well and drink slowly sip by sip while the mixture is still warm. Vitamin C helps in reducing sore throat. Drinking orange juice is one of the best remedies especially with a pinch of cayenne pepper in it. Don’t stain the pulp of the juice.
Try to force down a spoonful of vinegar down, to help disinfect your throat. Do this once a day only. Eating dill 
pickles can also help as they have the vinegar content in them too. Other remedies include the intake of a lot of liquids and fluids in order to reduce the sore throat. Sore throat mostly occurs due to post nasal drip which usually happens during cold or flu. Drinking liquids will help to prevent the post nasal mucous from building up in the throat which causes irritation and will help your throat stay moisture. Liquids also keep the body hydrated which helps in staying energetic despite the ailment. Range of drinks varies from juices to tea to other herbal mixtures to aid the sore throat.
Applying menthol balms also helps. This helps make breathing easier and less irritating for a sore throat. You can also use chamomile tea. Soak a small wash cloth in it, and wring it out, then spread it around your throat till the cloth cools down. Repeat this for several minutes. At times the intake of lozenges and other sweets also helps reduce the dryness of throat. If a coughing fit occurs, the easiest way is to have some sugar and suck on it. Having a humidifier in the room will keep the moisture content of the room high and help to get rid of the sore throat. In order to add a medicated inhalant in water, a steam vaporizer can be used.

Very often I suffer from persistent sore throat. Swallowing liquids becomes slightly difficult. I’ve no other problems. What should I do cure this nagging sore throat? Plz advise.
My throat is in aching pain!!! Right now and I tried every remedy i could find.. And I don’t want to take medication ..somebody PLEASE HELP ME! I want this to be GONE! I’m thinking about committing a suicide!!
GO TO THE DOCTOR / HOSPITAL!
Hi friends, first i want to thank you for reading my blog. For now i found only one solution, that can help you to stop sore throat and prevent future infection is
this product
. Yes you must pay, but it works.Uhm kitty, can i call ya ms. puss? if ur sore throat is so bad ur considering suicide, then u need more medication than just sore throat meds. Now, if you’ve tried ALL the remedies as you say you have, and nothing helps, and you’ve had a sore throat for more than 5 days then u probably have an infection such as strep or mono..look for white patches in the back of ur throat to identify strep. If u do have an infection, remedies wont work, you’ll need antibiotics, as they are the only way to kick an infection like this. waiting too long to go to your Dr. can be bad kitty, consult medical help if it doesnt go away in a few days. NOW, if its not an infection, remedies WILL work, but not the very first try. You’ll need to repeat over and over, frequently. My favorite is mixing 1 teaspoon of salt into bat 8 ounces of warm water, not hot, warm..and gargling each swig for 30 sec. until glass is empty. do this 4 to 5 times a day, accompany it with brushing really good with toothpaste and warm water, 3 times a day, and gargle an alcohol mouthwash, and itll help i promise. getting lots of vitamin C is crucial. i prefer to take vitamin C but drinking lots of orange juice will work…but too much can cause heart burn. hope u get to feeling better kitty.
HI have been up the last 5 nights coughing and sore throat , have just gargled with two soluble aspirin in warm water and swallowed so much, it really seems to have helped…….

You may have Strep Throat, that`s way this remedies can`t work for you. You should go to your doctor.
Mi throat hurts so bad dat I cant eat or swallow is coke or green tea gnna work
i have not tried any of those remedies,lovely queen but i’ve heard that pop or soda is not good for sore throats,the one that works best for me me is not generic cough drops but only get the the best, Ricola.those are great.i prefer cherry flavor.one drop soothes for about 15-45 mins. for me.NOTE YOU STILL WILL FEEL A SLIGHT SORE THROAT BUT FEELS BETTER THAN IT DID AND IT WORKS WAY BETTER THAN GENERIC BRANDS SUCH AS TopCare.i also prefer cherry in that brand.
This is great advice but I really wanted to share the remedy which got rid of my sore throat instantly! I actually discovered it by accident, I made myself 2 drinks – a cup of hot mint tea with a dash of lemon and a cup of cold water with a dissolved paracetamol and went to the toilet. When I came back I picked up the cup which I thought was the paracetamol and downed the whole thing. It was actually the Tea – the water was very close to boiling hot so felt like it was scalding my mouth and throat but I did it quickly and just kept swallowing and it didn’t hurt too much. About 10 seconds after that, I realized I couldn’t feel my sore throat at all! I certainly recommend all those with a nasty sore throat the same remedy!!!
Hey, my throat just started hurting today, but it only hurts on one side! It feels like theirs a big knot in my throat. I will try pickles because i absolutely love them, and maby the salt thingy to! Thanks for the advice!

I went to the doctor’s office yesterday and I didn’t have strep or mono, and I have had sore throats before, but this one is just awful. It feels like I have a piece of glass lodged in my throat. It hurts so much to swallow that at some point it will actually make my eyes water. I haven’t been able to eat or drink for the past 3 days. I mean, yeah, I’ll still eat and drink but not even close to how much I normally do. I’ve actually reached in my mouth and felt my throat and, I’m not sure what it is but, there is something right behind my tongue and is actually blocking the passage way down my throat and I can feel it and I can push it down towards my throat and it seems like it will just fall into place and my throat won’t hurt but if I let go of it it, it just pops right back up and hurts again. I’m taking Amoxocilin, I’ve been spraying this cough spray into my throat and it kinda numbs it for a second and I’ve been taking some Halls cough drops every now and then and it just keeps getting worse. And I smoke cigarettes so I’m pretty sure that’s not helping, but I physically can’t even finish a small glass of water. What do I do? Please help.
I feel much better after reading all these comments of other people’s pain. Laughter sure is the best medicine! Thank you all for the entertainment! Hope you feel better and you didn’t kill yourself…the best though is the long comment from the guy who at the end figures out he shouldn’t be smoking! CHEEZ!
Hi, my name is Melissa. I’m a 13 year old girl, and I have a really bad sore throat. I’ve tried almost everything to make it go away, but it won’t. I havn’t been eating as much as I normally do, because every time I swallow, it just hurts so bad. I’ve had this sore throat for like, 3 or 4 days now. please, somebody help me?
My bf has tried everything and nothing is working what should we do. Meds aren’t helping either..
sugar increases inflammation, however honey is sterile (until its contaminated i.e. botulism). There is a range of pH that the bacteria can live in. That’s why the vinegar is suggested. Also, a salty solution is not habitable for most bacteria. I personally use a little pinch of baking soda in my gargle salt solution and use a nasal irrigator to flush it all out. make sure to get in the back of the throat to wash the mucous out. Take vitamins. I take a pack of 6 called arbonne smart nutritional hybrids for men, and it has an enzyme pill that helps to break the other pills down for significantly faster absorbsion. Within 20-30 min i feel a bit of a rush and the sore throat swelling loosens up a little. I thought I could look on the internet for more solutions, but it seems like no one anywhere could tell me anything I didn’t know already. Most people spread around little housewife tales and shit that are fundamentally flawed. Take a hot shower or bath. Anything to make you feel mentally better. A change in mood alters your body’s chemistry. Feelin’ good is good enough. You can will yourself better, I promise: it is scientifically proven (placebo effect). No dairy whatsoever no matter what. nothing with milk in it.
re-cap:
acidic or basic solutions: tsp of salt, pinch of baking soda, cup of water.
teas with lemon or citrus juice. (i dont use sweetener but if you must use honey instead of sugar, sugar might make it worse… and dont use a lot)
Come up with your own creative solution!
Vitamins: its like a bailout-puts lots of needed supplies at your body’s bank account
take a hot shower or bath, and chill out.
Anything to make you feel mentally better.
No dairy whatsoever no matter what. nothing with milk in it.
Good luck:D
