What to do when throat hurts besides taking medicine?

Answer 1

Any type of throat pain can be dangerous and should be checked by a health professional. The risks are too high, especially with MRSA, and a physical evaluation should be the first step before taking anything for it. For temporary relief, throat lozenges can make it a little less uncomfortable.

Answer 2

I find that having a spoonful of honey and slowly swallowing it helps A LOT !! Also tea or hot water. Chicken soon also help but honey is the best quick fix. :)
