Sore throats result from mucous membranes being inflamed. This is most notable when trying to swallow food or drink. Sore throats are usually caused by infections and are brought on by the flu or a cold. If a sore throat last longer than 5-7 days or is still problematic after the other cold or flu symptoms go away, you should see a doctor. Sore throats can also be caused by allergies and other irritants.

The pain of a sore throat may be accompanied with dryness or scratchiness. If you have a sore throat you should get a lot of rest and drink a lot of fluids.

Wash your hands often, avoid touching your mouth to avoid transmitting viruses that lead to sore throats. Also, cover your mouth if you cough or sneeze. Natural Home Remedies and Cures for Sore Throats
