Any advice on how to get rid of a sore throat quickly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sore throat: One of the easiest things to try is gargling with salt water. This may or may not be effective, depending on the underlying cause. If you have allergy symptoms of running nose, watery itchy eyes, try an anti-histamine. If you have having fevers and chills and the throat is red, you should probably be evaluated from possible infection that may require something different.
