I have had a sore throat for the last few days and nothing has helped it. A sore throat is an infection that can be either viral or bacterial. It is most commonly caused by a contagious viral infection (such as the flu, cold or mononucleosis), although more serious throat infections can be caused by a bacterial infection (such as strep, mycoplasma or hemophilus). Bacterial sore throats respond well to antibiotics while viral infections do not. For viral infections, there are many natural remedies that you can take to cure a sore throat. Some of these folk remedies work within an hour or two, others take effect overnight.
If you do not see some improvement overnight, please visit your doctor, especially if you suspect strep throat. The following are things people have tried. Note that I am not issuing out medical advice only reposting what others have tried.
The throat sighs!
