Keep it moist
A dry, sore throat, needs lots of lubrication so try lozenges which coat your throat and reduce painful friction. |
Try zinc
If you take zinc for your sore throat every 2 or 3 hours you should feel the soothing effects within a day. |
Gargle
A warm saltwater gargle reduces painful swelling in minutes, It also kills germs. Add half a teaspoon of salt to a cup of warm water, tip your head back and gargle the solution as often as you need relief. |
Try ibuprofen
If your throat is inflamed ibuprofen is an effective pain reliver and anti-inflammatory and is easier on the stomach than aspirin. Always follow the direction and precautions on the packaging. |
