Swallowing your pride can be pretty painful. But when just plain swallowing hurts, you have a real problem. After all, it's hard to go even 15 seconds without swallowing at least once. And the more you try not to, the more you find yourself doing it. Combine a sore throat with a rasping cough and you know the meaning of torture.
Sore throats are often the early warning signs of colds or the flu. But they can exist independently as the result of some other viral or bacterial infection. Sometimes they're just minor irritations caused by winter's low humidity or too much cheering at a football game. Whatever the cause, here's how doctors say to make the most of a sore situation.
Suck on lozenges. If your sore throat is caused by a viral infection, antibiotics won't help it. But medicated lozenges containing phenol may do some good, says Venice, Florida, ear, nose, and throat specialist Hueston King, M.D. The phenol can kill surface germs, thereby keeping the invaders in check until your body has a chance to build up its resistance. And its mild anesthetic action numbs raw nerve endings so your throat doesn't feel as scratchy. These lozenges come in various strengths, so follow package directions.

Gargle a mixture of 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar and 2 teaspoons salt in a coffee cup of water as warm as you can stand it. Afterward, take a tablespoon of honey mixed with alum. It's a quick fix.

Honey mixed with a little lemon juice. It will sting a little going down, (as the lemon juice causes the pores to open, But the honey will help to clog the pores and coat your throat, making it feel better.
