Stay Hydrated
for Sore Throat
Drinking plenty of warm or cool fluids throughout the day to keep the throat moist and prevent dehydration.
How it works
Keeping throat tissue hydrated reduces the pain from a dry, inflamed throat. Warm fluids provide soothing relief while cool fluids can reduce inflammation and provide analgesic effect.
What to watch for
Avoid very hot drinks which can further irritate an already inflamed throat. Ice chips or cold water are often very soothing for acute sore throat.
