Soar throat.
I work on the phones all day and it causes my throat to get very irritated and soar. Are there any natural remedies that could help. I feel like tea makes it worse?

Honey, lemon juice and glycerine stirred up in hot water is good, and pleasant tasting. Let it cool to the sort of temperature you drink tea or coffee before you drink it. Good for cold and flu sore throats too. 100% natural and not 'medicated' in any way, drink so as and when required. Though you need a kettle or saucepan to heat the water of course.

A home remedy that I always do whenever I have a sore throat is a mixture of honey, salt, and lime. But you don't drink it, instead you gargle it. You could drink it if you wanted but it's best if you gargle it. You can do as much as you like. I usually do a full cup of those small baby sized coffee cups. Gargle as many times as you need until you are done with the remedy. It has always worked for me but if it doesn't work I think that you should at least get something in the pharmacy, many pharmacist sell soar throat medicine over the counter. I hope this helps.

You could always try honey to try help ease your throat, this always helps me when I have a bug and end up having a really sore throat.
There should be a number of other remedies that one can try that would be natural. If you have a herbal store where you live it may well be worth popping in to have a quick chat with them to see if they can recommend something. Some herbal/natural remedies can come with a bit of a price tag so this is something to be weary of and not all of these remedies work for everyone (I have tried various remedies for hay fever and found that some which worked great for others did not work as well for me and vice-versa).
Give honey a try though and see how that works. It may only be a short term fix for the sore throat though since I would think it is sore because you are on the phone all day and continuing this would only aggravate the soreness. You could also try speaking to your GP to see what they are able to recommend as many are aware of many herbal and natural remedies and practices so they might be able to suggest something.
