What to do for raw sore throat?

Raw sore throats feel like angry cobras made their home in your neck. They’re a nightmare to deal with, and they pretty much put a halt on everything you want to do, from talking to swallowing (which is ironic because that’s usually how the pain started in the first place).

But don’t worry! Even though it feels like razor blades are razing down your throat every time you swallow, there are still ways you can tame those pesky cobras (not literally – please don’t try snatching them out of thin air). In this article, we’ll explore the tips and tricks that can help soothe a raw sore throat before it becomes too unbearable.

1. Gargle saltwater

We know this sounds weird (and tastes even weirder), but gargling saltwater can work wonders for relieving throat pain.

Here’s how:
– Mix half a teaspoon of salt into warm water.
– Gargle with the mixture for 30 seconds.
– Spit it out.

The sodium chloride in salt helps break up mucus and decrease inflammation in the throat which ultimately relieves discomfort.

2. Drink Warm Fluids

When temperatures outside begin dropping suddenly so does our immune system defense against bacteria causing scratchiness of our throats. Drinking hot liquids such as soups and tea might just increase body temperature enough therefore impairing bacterial growth while easing irritating sensations felt when swallowing food or drink during cold weather periods hence improving your healing process; especially useful if flavoured with cinnamon or honey!

3. Marshmallow Root Tea

If all else fails fixing an unyielding uncomfortable soreness deep within one’s oral cavity consider brewing some sweet marshmallow root tea extract:

This would make:
A quarter-to-half-teaspoonfuls steeped with boiling water.
It can shield the throat from harmful external irritants and providing much-need relief to inflammation combating sore pain alongside other optimal health benefits such as weight loss, anti-tumor growth properties among others.

4. Hydrate Often

Dry air leads to dry throat which leaves our throats vulnerable for bacterial contamination leading to irritations gotten when swallowing food or liquids. Therefore it’s advisable to keep sipping on water throughout the day in order that the lining of ones’ oral cavity is soothed protecting against infection-based discomfort w/an added antioxidant bonus.

5. Avoid Irritants

Inhaling cigarette smoke, vehicle exhaust fumes, pollen or industrial emissions may serve only temporarily alleviate one’s soreness sensation whilst potentially harmfully irritating your lungs and throats leaving you worse off than before.

On-hold until further notice would be:
Smoking cigars/cigarettes/anything at all outdoors/at home/any public space.
Pressure-driven activities – screaming/musical performances/joining a stampede etc.
Ingesting stimulating substances like caffeine/alcohol

These steps will help give your vocal cords some rest (you might also sound more mysterious) while avoiding any unnecessary irritation.

6. Honey & Lemon Tea

This tea could easily pass as purely exotic since its origin feels romantic inspired by concoctions brewed way back in ancient times particularly meant for us ordinary folk through:

Mix a spoonful of honey with hot lemon juice then added with a warm cup of fluid choice preferably plain water this hence wards off any future reoccurrences of raw-sore throat appearance beforehand reversing incipient cold symptoms including excessive coughs alleviating tightness experienced within chest areas restoring overall good health!

(CAUTIONARY SACRAMENTUM!): Never digest scalding drinks – they tend towards harming rather than doing well at all please use slowly simmering fluids instead!!

Overall, keeping yourself hydrated and avoiding substances which irritate your throat are some of the best things you can do to alleviate a raw sore throat. So, kick that cobra out of your neck (gently) (don’t really try kicking it out though – we were just trying to make a point) and start feeling like yourself again!
