Question

How can I treat a dry and sore throat effectively?

Answer 1

In the initial stages Unani or Ayurvedic medicines work excellent. Hamdard Laboratories in India and Pakistan are manufacturing `SUALIN',`JOSHINA'etc.which are good medicines. If initial stage is neglected, you have to rely on allopathic ENT specialists.

Answer 2

Try gargling with salt water.

Answer 3

gargle with warm water with a little bit of salt. Give yourself a day or 2, if you're throat is still soar, or you're having trouble swallowing, or if you develop a fever go see a doctor

Answer 4

You probably need to drink more water. It may be from a medicine you're taking. Have you checked what can happen when you take certain medicines? The reason I ask is a friend had a terrible taste in her mouth and it was from a sleeping aid she was taking. I like to chew gum when my mouth is dry which seems to help.

Answer 5

yes gargle with salt water every 20 to 30 minutes:) It does help... good luck:)

Answer 6

Go to your local grocery store and stock up on ginger ale and juice (something smoother, less citric acid like apple juice) also pick up some Cepacol Lozenges (they contain benzocaine, a local anesthetic that numbs the raw areas of your throat). Drink plenty of fluids and rest, its probably just a short term cold. If it persists, it could be allergies or something more severe like strep. Make sure to see your doctor if it lasts for more than just a few days.

Answer 7

You may have an infection which will require a doctor. But until then make sure you drink lots of water.....take some Tylenol or Ibuprofen for the pain. When I have a bad sore throat I put a thick layer of Vick's vapor rub on my throat and then wrap a thin towel or cloth around it. Leave it as long as you can stand it. By morning it should be gone. Also throat spray is a big help for numbing the pain.
