PrettyBoi	* Gargle with warm salt water to help reduce swelling and relieve discomfort: o Gargle at least once each hour with 1tsp (5g) of salt dissolved in 8fl oz of warm water. o If you have postnasal drip, gargle often to prevent more throat irritation. * Prevent dehydration. Fluids may help thin secretions and soothe an irritated throat. Hot fluids, such as tea or soup, may help decrease throat irritation. * Use a vaporizer or cool air humidifier in your bedroom. o Warm or cool mist may help you feel more comfortable by soothing the swollen air passages. It may also relieve hoarseness. However, don't let your room become uncomfortably cold or very damp. o Use a shallow pan of water to provide moisture in the air through evaporation if you don't have a humidifier. Place the pan in a safe location where no one will trip on it or fall into it. * Do not smoke or use other tobacco products and avoid secondhand smoke. For more information, see the topic Quitting Tobacco Use. * If you suspect that problems with stomach acid may be causing your sore throat, see the topic Heartburn. Consider taking nonprescription medicine for your symptoms. * Use nonprescription throat lozenges. o Some nonprescription throat lozenges, such as Sucrets Maximum Strength or Spec-T, are safe and effective and have medicine (local anesthetic) that numbs the throat to soothe pain. o Regular cough drops may also help. * Use a Decongestant. o Decongestants make breathing easier by shrinking swollen mucous membranes in the nose, allowing air to pass through. They also help relieve a runny nose and postnasal drip, which can cause a sore throat. o Decongestants can be taken orally or used as Decongestant nasal sprays. Oral decongestants (pills) are probably more effective and provide longer relief but may cause more side effects. o Do not give decongestants to a child younger than 2 unless your child’s doctor has told you to. If your child’s doctor tells you to give a medicine, be sure to follow what he or she tells you to do. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
