What can i use for throat pain?
I've had a sore throat for a couple of days now, and it's making it difficult to swallow. It's really irritating and scratchy. What can I use to relieve this throat pain quickly? I just want some comfort.

Totally agree with the warm water gargles. Also, avoid cold drinks completely for a few days, that makes a big difference.

Hey! For throat pain, warm saline gargles really help, maybe 3-4 times a day. You can also try strepsils or any medicated lozenges. If it gets worse or you have fever, better to get it checked by a doc, just to be safe.

Mere ghar pe toh adrak aur shahad ka kaadha banate hain. Thoda sa adrak ghis ke paani mein ubaalo, phir thanda hone pe shahad mila ke pee lo. Bahut aaraam milta hai. Par agar bahut zyaada dard hai ya saans lene mein problem ho rahi hai toh doctor ko dikhao beta.

Uff, throat pain is the worst! Does anyone else get that really scratchy feeling like sandpaper? I always worry it's gonna turn into a full-blown fever. What do you guys do for that specific scratchiness?

Be careful with lozenges or cough syrups if you have diabetes, check the sugar content. I usually just stick to warm salt water gargles and plain hot water. My doctor also suggested a little bit of turmeric in warm milk, without sugar of course.
