What can I do to help my throat stop hurting. I'm not feverish or anything...just feel under the weather with a sore throat. Is there anything natural that could help it?
How many days should a sore throat last before you visit the doctor?
Poor Devon, he has a sore throat to. But he seems to be handling it a lot better than me. I think it's something Michael brought home from school...but Michael seems to be doing okay(he was sick over the weekend with it).
I made sure to keep my fluids up and I drank some hot tea(decaf) Hot beverages seemed to help my throat feel better. I know some people recommend Chammomile while pregnant.
I really did not take any of that lovely Sudafed because I was kinda nervous to take it. So I just got rest, drank lots of water and had a glass of tea when it got horribly bad. Although if you don't like tea, my suggestion won't help.....lol
Honey helps, if it is really bad just have a teaspoon of honey, I swear you can feel the relief as it goes down. Or else honey with lemon and hot water.
These are really good for colds as well
I hope your throat feels better soon Tara, it is no fun having a sore throat and for Devon too

Those who say it can't be done should not interfere with those who are doing it!!!

Running a humidifier might help, if you have one. Since you're in MN, I assume you've been running your heaters. The hot dry air from the heaters might be adding to the irritation in your throat. If you don't have a humidifier, you could place a pot of water on a heating grate. That should put a little moisture into the air.
Licorice root tea is soothing to the throat. Tyoically doesn't need any additional sweetening either Also helps upset stomach.

Sorry I'm late on this one... Fluids, rest, humidity should all help. I find tea with honey & lemon can help....
Feel better soon!
