How does one handle sore throat at home before seeing a doctor?
Q. I have sore throat which is really painful with headache but I have managed to control the headache with motrin but the sore throat is still a problem. Are there some things one can do to sooth and control the pain of sore throat?

A. Gargle with very, very salty warm water Chloraseptic sprays or drops actually contain an ingredient similar to the novacaine that your dentist uses to numb your teeth for dental work. It numbs on contact and is very effective. Throat coat tea - available in the tea section, or if your pharmacy has a homeopthic section, you could find ti there. It's a "Natural Remedies" tea. Has a strong licorice flavor. My kids love it. Just don't take it after the Chloraseptic or you will be rinsing away all the numbing stuff. ;) If you are running a fever, consider going to have a culture done to check for strep. If it is strep, antibiotics will take care of the pain quickly! Hope you are feeling better!

How long will strep throat last if left untreated?
Q. I've been havin a severe sore throat for 6 days now with no other symptoms so I'm pretty sure it's strep. I can't currently go to a doctor so I'm left to deal with it by home remedies and LOTS of Ny Quil and Ibuprofen. Will it just eventually go away and if so, how much longer should it take? Or must I seek antiiotics?

A. depending on age, 2-3 weeks

Is it normal to experience burning in your throat 3 weeks after radiation treatment to the Throat?
Q. My mom underwent 35 radiation treatments for a tumor in her throat. It is now 3.5 weeks after treatment and she has a hard time eating and says her throat feels like it's on fire. Is this normal to feel burning 3.5 weeks after treatment? If so any suggestions as what to do to help relieve the pain. She hates the magic mouthwash and she is taking hydroxodone-acetiphenimen, which she says helps slightly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
Asked by James T - Sat Mar 12 17:58:36 2011 - Cancer - 2 Answers - Comments
A. I had 50 radiation treatments to my throat over 2 months. It took another 3 months for my throat to heal from the aftereffects. What is going on is the skin inside of the treatment field(the esophagus) has become burned and blistered and as a result has sloughed off and the new skin there is completely raw. When I was going through that I had to use morphine just to eek down a few sips of water--the numbing throat wash was so gross that it made sick and wasn't worth it. That was definitely the hardest part of radiation treatment. It was also the time when I lost the most weight because it was so painful to eat. The easiest way to drink was to have my fluids at room temp and very soft foods like pastas at room temp. I hope your mom does… [cont.]

What is the difference between strep throat and tonsillitis?
Q. I am from America, but this summer I went on a missions trip to Wales and got very sick. I am normally diagnosed with strep throat, however, in Wales the 2 doctors i saw had no idea what strep throat was. They did not test me for it, but diagnosed me as having tonsillitis. What is the difference between the two?
Asked by amanda c - Wed Dec 30 03:52:24 2009 - Infectious Diseases - 9 Answers - 2 Comments
A. Well, tonsillitis and strep are basically the same, strep throat is a specific sore throat where as tonsillitis is non specific which means it can be anything from staph aureas to probably strep. With a strep infection however, it's prone to spreading to different areas of the body- rheumatic fever for instance. Tonsillitis stays in the throat. I highly suggest you MAKE them do a rapid strep test or blood agar plate incubation (have them look for Beta hemolysis on a blood plate) before they insist on a tonsillectomy. It could easily be cured with antibiotics... I'm sorry, but if an American CLT with a two year degree can outsmart an 8 year trained Wales Doctor there is something wrong.

Why does my throat and stomach feel upset when I eat certain fruits?

What does a sore throat due to quitting smoking feel like?
Q. I have stopped smoking going on my 5th day. For the last 3 days I have had a terrible sore throat. I read that a sore throat is a sympton of quitting, but how bad is it? My throat hurts so bad at times, I can not swallow. I just want to make sure it is part of the Quitters Flu, and not something I need to go to the DR for. (My throat is also very swollen and red).

What do you do if your throat rips or does it heal on its own?
Q. I've been sick and I've been throwing up and yesterday it hurt worse and my throat has hurt all day. Not sore throat hurt, like throat rip hurt. Does a rip in your throat heal on its own or do you need to go to a doctor or do you know any remedies to heal faster or such? It's been a day or two, it's not a sore throat. I know that's definate.

A. The contents of your stomach including strong acids find their way back to your mouth when you throw up. These strong acids can damage the lining of your throat and will definitely hurt. If Iwere you I will drink cold beverages (non alcoholic) maybe even ice cream to take care of the inflammation. It should get better after a couple of days. Good luck.

Why is my throat sore and dry in the mornings during the winter season?
Q. Would you please help me? I am new in Canada and I don t know why my throat is sore and dry every morning during the winter season. Is it normal? Does everybody in cold places have the same problem? Thank you.
Asked by Karen L - Thu Dec 11 08:18:17 2008 - Other - Health - 3 Answers - Comments
A. Same reason alot of people get dry skin. The air stream changes, and the air is coming from a different direction, meaning we are catching dry air instead of moist air. The dry air pulls moisture from your skin, and also from your mouth and throat. Its worse if you sleep with your mouth open. Try drinking an extra glass of water before bed, using a humidifier, or just having a halls in the morning. Your throat will just be a little chapped. I know mine goes away as soon as I take a drink of something.

Is it common to experience sore throat when just beginning to wear a retainer?

What would cause my throat to feel this way?
Q. I've been having this problem for about a week now and it's starting to bother me and its also annoying. It feels like my throat is tightening up or it feels like my throat muscles are tight. Sometimes when I swallow it feels like there is something stuck in my throat. I can breath just fine and I'm not wheezing or anything like that. But this feeling in my throat causes me to swallow more often. My throat isn't sore. Sometimes it feels like my throat is swollen. What could be causing this? Are there any home remedies for this?
Asked by healthnut - Sun Mar 2 11:16:20 2008 - Pain & Pain Management - 4 Answers - Comments
A. Sometimes people develop esophageal strictures which usually don't develop overnight. Also sometimes, food might get caught in a pre-existing hiatal hernia which could cause you to have a full feeling in your esophagus. And sometimes, food actually can get lodge in the throat and stay. But considering that you say you are able to swallow, I would rule that out. I would schedule an appointment with my family doctor, if I were you, to rule out any of these things and find out what is going on.

A. hot tea. not hot to burn your throat lol but tea with lemon will work. also if your in a band that involves screaming, im assuming metal, do a lot of vocal warm up that don't involve screaming, warm up to soft acoustic songs then when ever your ready to perform or sing your wont put a big strain on your vocal chords.

A. Honey is the common ingredient in many home remedies, I mix around 4 teaspoons of honey in a cupful of hot water and then add a couple of tablespoons of cider vinegar, it always works for me.
