Amy T	When I have a sore throat it is usually frm my sinuses draing in the back of my throat irritating it. I take @ 800 milligrams of Ibuprophen at 1 time and gargle with marm salt water as much as I can. Drinking alot of water also helps flush that stuff from your throat. I only gargle with peroxide if my tonsils have the white pus spots on them- it will draw out the infection. Cough drops throughout the day will help also. Get plenty of rest also. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

hauntedtreehouse	black tea with honey Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Feist	both those candies like halls is for short term like if you have to give a presentation then you can take one or if your throat is really feeling sore, so they work quickly and all they really do is soothe the throat medicines won't be effective immediately like candies and work more in the long term. my doctor told me to gurgle salt water Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ladybug18ju	don't talk for at least a week and you're talking the halls lemon cough drops because that might help your sore throat or drink some thermaflu lemon and honey tea you can find that at walgreens or schnucks. You must either sing a lot or talk, or scream a lot everyday because that would strain your vocal cords. I know how you feel I do the first one and I try to practice my singing and I can sing in four octaves 1st soprano, mezzo-soprano, alto, and counteralto, so don't overuse your voice then you cannot talk tp nobody just write out on a piece of paper of what you to say and be quiet.
