A sore throat is one of the most common health complaints and can be the first sign of an illness like a cold or flu. A particularly bad sore throat or strep throat can be very painful, in fact, people often compare the pain of strep throat to swallowing razor blades. A doctor may diagnose a sore throat as pharyngitis, laryngitis or tonsilitis, depending on which area of the throat is affected.
Whether you’ve got a mild sore and scratchy throat, brought on by allergies, or a more serious condition caused by a viral or bacterial infection, there is a range of over-the-counter medications on the market specifically designed to tackle the pain and provide relief.
Drinking lemon or honey in tea can be helpful for people suffering from a painful sore throat. If you need added relief, a throat lozenge, oral spray or oral rinse can help to ease the pain. Throat lozenges are great for lubricating the throat and can even prevent coughing along with soothing pain. And if you’re suffering from more than just a scratchy throat, add a cold and flu treatment to help ease all your symptoms including a post-nasal drip and runny rose.
