Hello Dear. The treatment for a
sore throat depends on the cause. However, you can treat many sore throats at home.
Home treatment options include:
1. gargling with warm salt water
2. drinking plenty of warm fluids, such as teas, soup, and water
3. avoiding allergens and irritants, such as smoke and chemicals
4. taking throat lozenges
5. reducing inflammation with
ibuprofen or
acetaminophen tablets
You can first try these
home remedies. There is no urgency. In case it is not subsiding you can go to your
primary care doctor who may treat you with antibiotics.
Hope i have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. I ll be glad to help you.
All the best
With warm regards
Dr Sanjay Kini
