Between the Japanese supplements provided by my mother-in-law and the wholistic supplements provided by my friend and holistic therapist neighbor, I'm load with preventative and fast healing remedies. But to me, for a sore throat, there's nothing better than 2 spoonful's of raw, locally harvested honey and then some green tea,  lots of water and a rest. I've also use Brian England's and Nina Hollander, Broker's remedies.

A tsp of honey is ever-so soothing 2-3 times a day. Gargling with salt water is also highly recommended by physicians and homeopaths alike.

I do also partner with that Vitamin C & Zinc. Zinc is highly overlooked for its medicinal properties - both for the immune system AND healing. I can't recommend anything more!

Hope you feel better soon, Bob!

Depends on what is causing it. I do know that it is a passing symptom as the body has need of that section for survival. Also, consider that the connecting parts of the throat may be contributing to the episode. Lastly, a salt gargle does much good & also some time-out?

(Spreading out paper cover on exam table) So Bob... what's been going on your life? Any stressors... been working over time and just worn out? Stick out your tongue and say Ahhhhhhhh (Headlight on AR doctor lights up Bob's throat)

Sore throat can have various causes, including:

  1. Viral Infections: Common colds, flu, or COVID-19 often cause sore throats, usually accompanied by other symptoms like cough, congestion, or fever.

  2. Bacterial Infections: Streptococcus bacteria cause strep throat, a condition that often requires antibiotics and includes symptoms like swollen glands and red, swollen tonsils.

  3. Allergies: Allergies to pollen, dust, or pet dander can irritate the throat, especially with postnasal drip.

  4. Dry Air: Especially in winter or in dry climates, low humidity can dry out the throat and cause soreness.

  5. Irritants: Smoking, pollution, or exposure to chemicals can irritate the throat.

  6. Acid Reflux: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can cause stomach acid to reach the throat, leading to irritation.

  7. Strain or Overuse: Talking loudly, shouting, or singing can strain throat muscles, causing soreness.

  8. Tonsillitis or Other Inflammations: Swelling of the tonsils or other areas in the throat can lead to pain.

If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s best to consult a healthcare provider to determine the exact cause.

Here are some effective remedies for soothing sore throat symptoms:

  1. Stay Hydrated: Drink warm or cool fluids, such as water, herbal teas with honey, or warm broth. Staying hydrated helps keep the throat moist and eases irritation.

  2. Gargle with Salt Water: Mix about half a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water and gargle for 30 seconds. This can help reduce swelling and kill bacteria.

  3. Honey and Warm Tea: Honey has natural antibacterial properties and can help coat and soothe the throat. Adding honey to warm tea (like chamomile) can provide relief.

  4. Use Throat Lozenges or Cough Drops: These can stimulate saliva production and keep your throat moist. Avoid giving lozenges to young children due to choking risks.

  5. Humidify the Air: Use a humidifier in your room to prevent dry air, which can worsen a sore throat, especially overnight.

  6. Over-the-Counter Pain Relievers: Ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help reduce pain and inflammation. Be sure to follow dosage guidelines.

  7. Avoid Irritants: Stay away from smoke, strong scents, and other throat irritants that could worsen the soreness.

  8. Rest Your Voice: Give your vocal cords a break to reduce strain.

If your sore throat lasts more than a week, worsens, or is accompanied by high fever, it’s best to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation. Good luck Bob "RealMan" Timm

Tea with honey is always a good thing.  Plus vitamin C, Quercetin, allergy meds (Hyland's naturals), and recently I was prescribed a honey throat spray for a sore throat I was having.  It was about $15 per bottle and is available on Amazon, at Whole Foods, and several other stores.
