Various natural sore throat remedies can be used at home to help soothe sore throat pain and other symptoms. Some of these may be familiar, like drinking warm liquids with honey and lemon juice or gargling with salt water, and you may find some new ones too, such as slippery elm leaves and sage. Over-the-counter (OTC) medications and liquids also help soothe a sore throat .
Sore throats may be caused by viral infections (including the common cold ), bacterial infections ( strep throat is a common cause of sore throats), tonsillitis , and even pain following tonsillectomies (surgical removal of the tonsils ).
While this article discusses home remedies that can help with the pain and symptoms of sore throat , it is important to note that some types of sore throat (such as strep throat ) must be treated with antibiotics to clear the infection and to prevent long-term complications. The remedies discussed in this article are for pain relief only and will not sure a bacterial infection.
Yes, pharyngitis (viral and bacterial) is contagious, and can be transmitted from one person to another. Mucus (nasal discharge and saliva) can contain the viruses and/or bacteria that can cause sore throat. Consequently, even kissing can cause transfer of these contagious organisms.
A 2009 study showed an echinacea /sage throat spray was as effective as a spray using typical numbing agents chlorhexidine/ lidocaine to relieve throat pain and scratchiness.
Vinegar is acidic and can kill bacteria in the throat, and also coat and soothe a sore throat . It may also loosen phlegm that may be irritating the throat.
Garlic has antiseptic properties, which can help if you have a bacterial infection, and it may help relieve sore throat pain.
Throat Coat is an herbal tea sold to provide sore throat relief.
Once again, this is not the candy but the plant. The main component of peppermint is menthol, which acts as a decongestant by thinning mucus .
Sorry kids, not the candy, but the herb. A 2009 study in the journal Anesthesia & Analgesia found a licorice gargle helped reduce postoperative sore throat pain.
This also is not the confection, but the herb. Like slippery elm, marshmallow root is a demulcent, and marshmallow root can soothe a sore throat by coating the irritated tissues of the throat.
Also known as Indian elm, moose elm, and sweet elm, slippery elm is believed to help coat the throat. It is considered a demulcent, which means it can help relieve irritation of the mucous membranes in the mouth by forming a protective film.
Eating frozen foods such as popsicles or sorbet can help alleviate sore throat symptoms.
Honey may be added to hot water or tea and lemon juice to help sooth a sore throat.
Grandma was right on this one! It's warm and helps moisten the throat.

Rinse the mouth with a warm saltwater gargle (1 teaspoon of salt in 8 ounces of water) and then spit it out. Don't swallow the salt, and don't use too much salt, as this could further dry out the sensitive throat membranes. Gargling with saltwater is an easy and economical way to help cleanse the throat and loosen phlegm.
This home remedy has become popular recently. Cayenne pepper contains capsaicin, which has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
Sucking on ice chips can help cool the throat, easing pain and inflammation.
Acupuncture may help relieve sore throat pain; however, studies have shown mixed results. Practitioners claim there is a "sore throat" acupuncture point found on the hand that can provide fast relief from sore throat pain.
Before using any herbal or alternative natural remedies, consult your doctor as some supplements can interact with prescription medications. Ask your child's pediatrician what home remedies and natural remedies are effective for babies and toddlers, and women who are pregnant should talk to their obstetricians about the best choices to use during pregnancy .
Studies have shown that zinc lozenges may shorten the duration of a cold, and may reduce the severity of cold symptoms including sore throat.
Stay hydrated! When you are sick with a sore throat, staying hydrated can help ease congestion, thin mucus secretions, and keep the throat moist.
Sleep is important in the recovery process.
Suck on lozenges or cough drops to keep the throat moist. Some brands have topical anesthetics, which will ease throat pain at least temporarily and last longer than sprays.
Like lozenges or cough drops, hard candies can help because they stimulate the production of saliva and help keep the throat moist and lubricated, which can ease the soreness from a dry sore throat.
Use throat spray with anesthetic to help relieve symptoms fast.
Use a humidifier to moisten dry air and keep your throat moist, or lean over the sink with hot running water and drape a towel over your head and inhale.
A warm mist humidifier heats the water inside the unit and releases steam into the air. This type of humidifier is helpful in cold weather, and because it uses boiling water, it can help kill airborne bacteria. A cool mist humidifier can help cool the room and is a good option if you have children or pets, so there is no risk of accidental burns .
Use a warm compress on the neck. Keeping the throat warm may help soothe tender lymph nodes .
If you smoke, there are plenty of reasons to quit, including easing a sore throat. Inhaling smoke from cigarettes, cigars, or pipes can cause a dry, irritated, and swollen throat, in addition to a cough, which can also irritate the throat.
OTC pain medications such as acetaminophen ( Tylenol ) or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ( NSAIDs ) such as ibuprofen ( Advil or Motrin ) or naproxen ( Aleve ) can help relieve the pain and inflammation caused by a sore throat.
Chronic cough treatment is based on the cause, but may be soothed natural and
home remedies.
Sore throat (throat pain) usually is described as pain or discomfort in the throat area. A
sore throat may be caused by
bacterial infections, viral infections, toxins, irritants,
trauma, or injury to the throat area.
Common symptoms of a sore throat include a fever, cough, runny nose, hoarseness, earaches, sneezing, and body aches. Home remedies for a sore throat include warm soothing liquids and throat lozenges. OTC remedies for a sore throat include OTC pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Antibiotics may be necessary for some cases of sore throat.
