\n A sore throat is unfortunately a part of a number of illnesses. It is often present when you have a cold or the flu. A severe sore throat can also be a sign of a bacterial infection that requires antibiotics. But in most cases, a sore throat will go away on its own when the related illness subsides.\n <\/p>\n

\n But whether your sore throat is one that will go away on its own or one that requires treatment doesn\u2019t make much difference in how unpleasant it is.\n <\/p>\n

\n Pain when talking, eating and drinking can put a damper on your normal activities and make you want to crawl into bed and stay there until it goes away.\n <\/p>\n

\n Try these home remedies to help alleviate sore throat pain:
\n <\/h3>\n

\n
\n * Gargle with warm salt water.
\n <\/strong>
\n Put about 1\/4 teaspoon of salt in a half cup of warm water, and gargle with it several times a day. This will provide relief and help keep infection at bay. It will also wash away postnasal drip, which can make a sore throat worse.\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n * Gargle with an antiseptic mouthwash
\n <\/strong>
\n such as Listerine. This will kill the germs in the throat.\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n * Drink tea with lemon and honey.
\n <\/strong>
\n
\n Any kind of tea will do to help soothe the throat
\n <\/a>
\n , but there are some herbal teas that are especially helpful. These include chamomile and sage.\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n * Eat fresh garlic.
\n <\/strong>
\n
\n Garlic is well known for its ability to fight off infection
\n <\/a>
\n , so this could eliminate the need for antibiotics.\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n * Eat ice cream, frozen yogurt, or other cold treats.
\n <\/strong>
\n Their cold temperature and smooth texture will temporarily ease the pain of a sore throat.\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n * Use a humidifier.
\n <\/strong>
\n This will help soothe the swollen air passages and help alleviate hoarseness.\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n * Avoid smoking and exposure to second-hand smoke.
\n <\/strong>
\n Smoke is an irritant that will make an already sore throat much worse.\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n * Suck on a lemon.
\n <\/strong>
\n The juice will help soothe the throat, and the vitamin C in it can help your body fight the germs that are causing the problem.\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n * Try gargling with mango bark extract.
\n <\/strong>
\n Add about ten drops to a glass of water and gargle with it a few times a day.\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n * Simmer some scallions in water for 5 minutes to make a tea.
\n <\/strong>
\n Drink three or four times a day to provide relief.\n <\/p>\n
