Natural remedy for throat infection
Well, an infection of the throat does seem like the most likely reason for the pain. When you have a throat infection you will notice that your voice feels a little hoarse. You may also experience some pain, especially when swallowing. If the infection is really bad it could affect your ears and clog them up temporarily. You should visit your doctor, and seek her professional opinion about your condition, before you begin any kind of treatment.
For a throat infection, there is nothing better than the time tested remedy of gargling. Simply add some salt to a glass of hot water and gargle as often as you like. This helps in preventing the spread of the infection. Soups and other hot drinks feel good in a throat infection, especially if you also experience pain while swallowing. Avoid eating oily, fried food since this will only aggravate your condition.
Hot lemon and honey is also beneficial in this type of infection. Heat some water and squeeze half a lemon into this. Adding a dash of honey is also good.
Turmeric helps too. Simply add half a table spoon of hot milk and drink at bedtime. Mash two cloves of garlic and add to the paste of two cloves. Add this to one cup of honey and store. You can eat one tablespoon every night before going to bed.
