How to soothe throat after vomiting?

I had a bad stomach flu and kept vomiting throughout the night. Now my throat feels so raw and sore, it hurts to even swallow. What can I do to soothe my throat after all that?

I freaked out when my throat felt extremely raw and had a burning sensation after vomiting, thinking I damaged my windpipe. My doctor reassured me it's just acid irritation. Drinking warm water with honey calmed it down in a day.

I was researching this because stomach acid is super strong and can actually cause temporary inflammation in the throat lining. Drinking room-temperature water or coconut water helps wash away the remaining acid quickly.

Throat completely burns after vomiting, ho na. Just gargle with plain warm water first to clean the acid, and then have a spoonful of honey. Avoid cold or spicy things for a day to let the throat heal.

Keep your hydration up after throwing up. Sipping warm water with a little honey and ginger works great to soothe the esophagus lining. Keep your meals very simple and low-acid for the next 24 hours.

Honestly, whenever I throw up, my throat feels super scratchy. Gargling with warm salt water is the easiest thing to do in a hostel, and it instantly reduces that burning feeling. Just rest your throat and don't drink cold drinks.

If you see any blood in your saliva or if the throat pain is severe and makes it hard to swallow water, please see a doctor. I once ignored severe irritation after vomiting and ended up with a painful tear in the food pipe. Be careful.
