What You Can Do at Home

These simple self-care steps can help ease discomfort and support recovery.

Rest your body and voice

Give your throat time to heal by limiting talking and physical strain.

Drink plenty of fluids

Warm or cool drinks help keep your throat moist. Avoid very hot liquids.

Eat soft, cool foods

Yogurt, soups, or ice lollies may be easier to swallow if your throat hurts.

Use a humidifier

Moist air can help soothe throat irritation, especially in dry environments.

Honey in warm water or tea

May help calm throat irritation. Not suitable for children under one year.

Avoid smoke exposure

Smoking and secondhand smoke irritate the throat and slow healing.
