what's the fastest way to get rid of my persistant soar throats?

Question

I constantly get soar throats and they really hurt!!

Answer 1

I always had sore throats because I have allergies and have post nasal drip. I went to an allergist and now that I am on allergy medication, that has helped me tremendously. You should see your doctor to see if you have allergies or something else. In the meantime, Here are a couple of websites I found that you can look at that have some information:

Sore throats can be a sign of a serious problem. If you have a sore throat, and it does not get better in a few days, see a Doctor. He will swab it and test it to see that it is not strep throat. This can be very serious. In the meantime, there is some relief.

Steps
Drink hot tea and eat chicken soup. This will ease the pain, and give you fluids and some nourishment.
Eat some ice cream, or ices. It will numb your throat and give temporary relief.
Take a hot shower. The steam vapors help clear your sinuses, which usually is a cause of a sore throat.
Get a bottle of chloroseptic spray and spray liberally in the back of your throat. It will numb your throat and make it kill bacteria.
Gargle with lukewarm salty water at least 3 to 4 times a day.



Tips
Stay away from eating hard foods, like meat, chicken, toast. It will hurt going down.
If you eat something, and it hurts going down, stop eating it.
Cooking fresh chicken soup is best, but a box of Lipton Chicken Soup with Noodles, is great and fast and easy.



Warnings
A sore throat can mean a serious illness. If it persists or gets worse, see your doctor. If it is at night or weekend, then go to the emergency room of your hospital. If you also have a stiff neck with the sore throat, do not wait. Get medical help.

See a doctor if your sore throat lasts longer than 5 days. If you can't identify an allergen that could be causing your sore throat, then it's time to see a doctor. Usually, sore throats that last 5 days or longer are caused by a bacterial infection like Strep throat or tonsillitis. If one of these bacterium (or another) are found in a throat culture, then your doctor will most often prescribe penicillin, or another antibiotic if you're allergic to that.

Drinking a lot of fluids will help you get rid of a sore throat. Sore throats are most often caused by post-nasal drip (doctor lingo for “snot sliding down your throat”) which is the result of a cold or the flu. Drinking fluids when you have a sore throat does two things: first, it helps to hydrate your body, and second, it helps keep post-nasal drip from building up and keeps the irritated linings of your throat coated with moisture. Mild and soothing drinks like warm tea are recommended.
Installing a humidifier in your room will help you get rid of a sore throat. The snot running down your throat (post-nasal drip) when you are sick isn't good for your sore throat. It tends to irritate your throat, leaving it raw and feeling quite dry. A humidifier in your room will help add moisture to the air, and moist air is less irritating to a sore throat. Steam vaporizers are recommended if you want to add a medicated inhalant to the water.
Gargling warm salt water can help relieve a sore throat. The swelling and subsequent in your throat, called edema, is caused by a greater water concentration in the cells lining your throat. A light mixture (1 teaspoon of salt per glass) of salt and water gargled for thirty seconds, several times a day will help draw some of that extra water out and reduce the swelling that accompanies a sore throat. Be careful; too much salt will harm your already beleaguered mucus glands.
Acetaminophen (Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Excedrin) is the only pain medication you should be taking if you have a sore throat. Because sore throats often accompany the flu, it's important that you do not take Aspirin to relieve the pain—just in case. Taking aspirin when you have the flu can cause Reyes syndrome in children (excessive pressure in the brain), and that, my friends, is a very bad thing. Stick to the Tylenol Cold & Flu.
A humidifier can be a great way to help ease the pain of a sore throat, but there are some things to think about when picking out a humidifier. Steam vaporizers are great because the chances of bacteria and minerals accumulating and being dispersed by them are low. The downsides to a steam vaporizer are that children can get burned if they get curious about the machinations of the humidifier and the energy required to run a steam vaporizer is higher than other humidifiers. Ultrasonic humidifiers are good because they don't use as much energy, but the chances of bacteria and minerals (referred to as “white dust”) being dispersed are higher. Evaporative humidifiers suffer from the same problems as ultrasonic humidifiers, so it's important to make sure you clean your humidifier often and change the filters as instructed.

Amoxicillin, warm salt water, this is your tonsils more than likely.
