A raw stinging throat can often be the first sign of a viral upper respiratory infection, such as a cold or flu, or less commonly, a bacterial infection, such as a strep throat. In children, swollen and infected tonsils can cause a sore throat; among adults, smoking is a common cause of mild, chronic throat pain.

DIETARY FACTORS
Get lots of vitamin C
Although scientific evidence is lacking, many people are convinced that high doses of vitamin C help to reduce the duration and severity of a sore throat and other symptoms of viral respiratory infections like other antioxidants, vitamin C is instrumental in immune faction, so adequate amounts can protect against viruses, bacteria and other infectious agents. indeed, for many people, higher amounts may be detrimental because they can lead to iron overload and other problems.

Avoid alcohol
Alcohol, which reduces immunity and irritates inflamed mucous membranes, should be avoided until the sore throat clears up. It’s also a good idea to cut down on, or eliminate, caffeine; its diuretic effect increases the loss of body fluids and results in a drying of the membranes and thickening of mucus. Make every effort to stop smoking, and avoid secondhand smoke.

EASING SYMPTOMS
nonalcoholic fluids, whether hot or cold, can alleviate painful swallowing. some doctors even advise temporarily switching to a liquid diet to maintain nutrition without exacerbating throat pain.
Home sore throat remedies abound, and many are useful in alleviating symptoms. The most time-honored favorite is to gargle with salty warm water; you can make an alternative gargle by adding 2 teaspoons of cider vinegar to a half cup of warm water.
