What simple home remedies could help me treat my throat pain?

It hurts when I swallow, but only on the right side. My right ear seems to be in pain as well, especially when I swallow. What could this be, and what can I do to make the pain go away using a home remedy?

Any kind of tea.

I drank Chai but that might be a bit too... spicy. But seriously. Tea always makes my throat feel better.

It seems that whenever my ear is itchy, so is my throat and if I itch my ear, it feels like I'm itching my throat, so I'm going to guess that they're somehow connected. Nothing to worry about though.

as u have pain in ur ear it may be Eustachian tube infection ,its the tube which connect ear and ur throat.don't worry its due to catching cold.use always warm water to drink,gargles with warm water added some pinches of salt and if available turmeric powder as turmeric is natural anti biotic.it will help u great ,take some pain killer medicine,which subside ur swelling.

Hey=]

I have the exact same problem. Do you have a tooth ache? Or even a cavity on that side? You might. And even though you can't see it. It could possibly be causing the problem

First off. Swish your mouth with some salt water. Then boil some tea. Let it steep for longer than normal, and swallow [not mix!] a tsp of honey before drinking & after wards :)

Good luck! I hope it gets better for ya!

best home remedies ive found. drink lots of water to start with. gargle warm water with dissolved salt in it. (dont swallow) tastes gross but kills all the germs. drink warm lemon and honey tes to soothe. see the dr if it gets any worse. good luck

Gargle with some strong salt water. Start taking vitamin C and maybe even some multivitamins. Drink lots of water. Get plenty of rest. Eat well balanced meals. Stay to yourself as much as possible to avoid spreading whatever it is. You'll be all right.

There are some very interesting suggestions. Some have worked quickly for me.

go to your local health food store and pick up some 'manuka' honey , its very good for sore throats . take a spoonful of it and swallow it slowly .

honey and lemon in hot water also helps

Warm Tea with alittle honey.

I would say you need to go to the Dr. You maybe getting an ear infection also.

Im pretty sure its the start of strep throat....you could try to gargle with salt water...dunno if that helps
