A sore throat is no picnic, but a dry sore throat is even more irritating and uncomfortable.

A bad sore throat that is also dry is pretty common during the cold winter months when the humidity in the air is very low.

It also happens when your sore throat is accompanied by a stuffy nose causing you to breathe through your mouth.

Relief for Dry Sore Throat

Finding relief for a sore throat really depends on what caused it in the first place. As stated above, most dry sore throats are caused by very dry air and sleeping with your mouth open due to a stuffy nose. So sipping a warm beverage like tea and honey or sucking on a lozenge can provide relief from that dry scratchy feel.

Also, consider using a humidifier in your bedroom at night and gargling with warm salt water several times a day. During the day if you are home, consider putting a big pot of water on the stove over low heat. ….allowing the water to simmer increases the moisture level in the air (therefore helping your dry sore throat).

If you suffer from a constant or recurring sore throat or it’s accompanied by pain, severe itchiness and a fever, we recommend that you seek the advice of your physician.

Avoiding and Treating A Sore Throat

The best and simplest way to help avoid a sore throat caused by a virus or bacteria, is simply to wash your hands regularly and do not touch your eyes, nose or hands after coming in contact with potentially contaminated surfaces like door knobs or bathroom sink faucets. You want to minimize the potential of catching and spreading the illness.

Also, get plenty of rest to help keep your immune system strong. And, as always, try to consume at least 5 full servings of fruits and vegetables and/or take daily multiple vitamins, along with 6 to 8 glasses of water daily, to keep the body, and your resistance to germs, strong.

Product Recommendation:

One of the best treatments for a dry sore throat is to use a homeopathic, herbal remedy that not only relives sore throat symptoms naturally, but also helps boost the immune system and provide relief and support for swollen glands and inflamed tonsils due to the common cold. We highly recommend Throat and Tonsil Dr.

Throat and Tonsil Dr. is an FDA registered product that's safe for children and pregnant women. If you take it as soon as you notice signs of a sore throat, recovery is often quite quick. If you start taking it after a sore throat sets in, it takes about 3 days to clear the symptoms from both viral and bacterial infections.
