Throat problems (possibly from a cold)?

Question

My throat's been sore all day from sneezing, so I might have a cold. I thought that drinking a carbonated drink would help my throat, but it just makes my throat hurt more. Is there anything else that could help my throat feel better other than medicine?

Answer 1

I have read that zinc tablets can sometimes be helpful to a sore throat as well as stuff like the Cepacol lozenges. I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what additional suggestions they may have to help this.
