B. Almost everyone has suffered from a sore throat at one time or another. It usually starts with aches in the neck, swollen glands and a headache. You get a burning feeling or ‘scratchiness’ in the back of the throat. It’s quite painful to swallow and your voice becomes hoarse. Some people may even have difficulty in breathing. These signs of a sore throat may be accompanied by a fever and a runny nose.
C. Honey has long been used as a sore-throat remedy. It has antibacterial properties, which can help speed recovery. It helps in soothing away the pain in the sore throat. It also reduces the swelling and discomfort. Honey can be added to warm tea or oatmeal or can be eaten with any other food. It will do the job of traditional medicines.
D. One of the most common symptoms of a sore throat is difficulty in swallowing, which makes eating anything very difficult. Anyway, your body needs energy to fight the illness, so eating healthy food is helpful and absolutely necessary. With a sore throat it should be something soft, cooked oatmeal and warm soup in handy. They give energy and soothe the discomfort caused by your sore throat.
E. Even though you may feel better after a day or two, it’s important to take the full course of prescribed medicines. Never make it shorter. It really may seem alright if you stop taking medicines once that fever is gone and you can easily swallow again. However, if you do so? There’s a good chance that the infection will come back and in a few days you’ll be right back where you started.
F. There are controversial views when it comes to eating dairy products when having a sore throat. An American medical society recommends eating yoghurt and milk because they can coat the throat and soothe it. However, other doctors are sure that dairy products make your sore throat and coughing worse and actually cause more irritation then before.
