How to manage severe sore throat with no fever? - Dr. Satish Babu K

Sometimes if a person had a throat infection, treated or untreated, the throat starts healing by itself. After that, a few occasions, the pain starts persisting, this may be because of inappropriate or inadequate healing of the throat skin, and nerve endings being exposed to the atmospheric changes. Chemicals in the ingested food, or pollution or smoking these things irritate the nerve endings on the skin which is not healed properly, much more than in a normal person’s throat. This leads to a persisting pain for a long term, over and over this kind of pain and inflammation happening will lead to bit of scarring under the skin and this again keeps the pain going for a long term. Salt water gargles however is not really going to help, it is only going to worsen the situation because salt is again a bad irritant of the nerve endings. If you stop gargling, just help the throat skin to heal, that means you have to keep the skin moist by drinking more liquids which are not irritating, like butter milk, lassi, juices, tender coconut. These will keep the throat moist, skin will start healing, nerve endings will get protected with proper cover, so the sensations will slowly get regularized, the pain will reduce. Dryness in the throat, which is probably a sequel of the infection, again, can lead to a lot of pain. Drinking more liquids will improve that also. Clearing the throat regularly, spitting out the mucus is not really encouraged. Retaining the mucus will help the skin healing better and pain reducing faster.

😢I’ve had a severe sore throat for about 7 days now. Was told it was because of post nasal drip. But it keeps getting worse and I’ve already been treating the post nasal drip. It’s so inflamed and red. No bacterial infection. Just so painful to swallow or talk. I’m a teacher. I can’t miss work :( If I do drink water or eat something after the first swallow it feels better. Lol but I can’t eat and drink every minute of the entire day. Nothing has helped lol. But good to know that true salt water gargles don’t really help. I kinda figured :/

so got an important point from your video. My throat is kind of scrwed up from last 40 days and not healing properly. everytime I felt better, I used to talk and again had the pain persistence. So I think the key is to allow it to recover completely. Instead of getting caught in the viscious cycle of feel better and continued irritations, the cycle needs to stop somewhere. Which is only possible by Dont talk much, rest for considerable amount of time. Hopefully this should work !
Thank you Docc
