Oftentimes, issues like coughing and sore throat will go away on their own. However, there are cases in which medical intervention is necessary. If your throat issues are interfering with your ability to live a full life, or your symptoms have lasted longer than one week, it’s time to see a McAllen ENT for care.

To find relief from sore throat at home, try drinking plenty of warm liquids, getting plenty of rest, using cough drops, eating soft foods, or gargling with salt water. If your sore throat persists, come see a specialist at Glatz Group.

To protect your vocal cords from damage, be sure to stay hydrated, avoid shouting as much as possible, take breaks after singing or playing an instrument, and avoid things like smoking and caffeine which can damage the throat.
