How To Deal With A Sore Throat
My son's favorite trick is to inform me she’s got a sore throat. I know that we all get them at onetime or other, but I know he doesn’t have one every single day. My mistake was buying these candy-like sore throat lozenges.Noe he wants to have one every day, but that can’t be good for him. So she tries his best to get me to give him one even when there is nothing wrong. I can usually tell when he’s lying by offering him some other cold medicine I know he doesn’t like. If he is really sick he’ll take it. If he refuses it, I know he just want to have one of the lozenges for the taste.
A sore throat can happen as the result of a cold or perhaps even strep throat. If you have a sore throat for more than a few days, you should see a doctor to find out if you have strep instead of just the symptoms of a cold. It can also happen to someone who sings or talks a lot. Those who tend to use their voice a lot can have problems at any time. If you have this problem, you might want to try drinking some tea with some honey in it. This may not work for everyone, but a know a few singers who swear by it.

A sore throat can also come about when you smoke too much or are perhaps in a smoky bar or room for long periods of time. If you are not a smoker, even a small and very limited exposure to a smoky room can lead to a sore throat. You may be able to remedy this by sucking on a cough drop and avoiding rooms where you know there will be smokers. Though this is hard on nights when you want to go out, there are states that now prohibit smoking in public bars. If you live in one of those states that is something you no longer have to deal with.
When you have a sore throat as a result of any of these things it might just be something you have to deal with until it goes away. Try to sooth your sore throat with medications and give your voice a rest. I know when I have a problem, my other half jokes that he finally has some peace and quiet. Little does he know, I don’t let a sore throat stop me, there are plenty of other ways to get his attention if I need it.
