I'm a singer. I have to sing for five hours three nights a week for my job and after about two hours my throat starts to hurt really bad... does anyone know what I can do for this?

Squeeze some fresh lemon juice, or use bottled juice, and combine with water. Add some honey. Heating the drink with the honey is most effective.
- Try making hot tea. Add a good dash of lemon juice and honey. Inhale the vapors while drinking the tea.
- Gargle with warm salt water (1 teaspoon of salt per glass of water).
- Try using throat lozenges or hard candy.
- Try sucking on popsicles.
- Use a humidifier during the day. Use a humidifier in the bedroom at night.
- Avoid pollution. Where the air is bad, try to keep away from it or go somewhere to have a break from it if you live in the midst of it. Stay indoors during smog days but remember that indoor air pollution can be even worse, so air the house when the smog has gone.
