Sore Throat Remedy #10: Anti-Inflammatory Medications
Over the counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) such as Advil or Aleve, can relieve some of the swelling associated with a sore throat. Make sure you follow the directions on the label. They are considered analgesics, or painkillers.
If you feel a fever or cold coming on as well, taking NSAIDs can help reduce those symptoms as well. If you have other medical problems and need to take other medications, check with your doctor before taking any over-the-counter drugs.
