10 Tips on How to Soothe a Sore Throat

I have had a lot of experience with sore throats. I had strep throat and tonsilitis more times than I can count before I finally got my tonsils out a few years ago. Right now I have a nasty sore throat and I am breaking out all my old tricks to help it feel better.

My throat hurt so bad today I didn't want to eat anything. It felt like somebody had taken a razor to my throat and slashed it up. My breakfast was marshmallows and honey and they didn't hurt my throat, but soothed it instead!


How to help your sore throat:

1. Marshmallows. Just eat a big marshmallow! For some reason it helps!

2. Honey. Eat a spoonful of it or spread it over some toast.

3. Hot Chocolate. I feel like it help burns some of the germs away. Plus put marshmallows in and that helps even more!
4. Throat Spray to help numb your throat.

5. Mouthwash with Chlorasceptic in it.
6. Gargle with warm salt water. Its gross, but it really does help kill germs in your throat and helps clean and soothe it.

7. Ibuprofen. It helps the swelling go down in your glands and throat and helps the pain.
8. Cough Drops

9. Suck on things, suckers, candy, etc.

10. Gargling Hydrogen Peroxide will also help kill germs and when the germs are gone, your throat won't hurt! I know its gross, but it helps!

Hope you get feeling better! Remember if you have white spots in your throat, a tummy ache, a fever. and swollen glands you probably have strep and need to get to the doctor and get on antibiotics ASAP!
