What can i do about the soar throat it feels like im swallowing glass and is very swollen. i also have post nasal drip. Doctor: Hi,     Virul infections, bacterial infections, irritants and injuries can cause a sore throat.     Sore throat symptoms may be accmpanied. by coughing , sneezing , fever , tonsils , chronic sinusities, step throat and allergies.     Try to rest your voice for the day. Avoid straining your throat by talking too much, especially talking lowdly.     Avoid fried or cold foods , which can aggravate a sore throat.     Sufficiant intake of water helps in washing away infections quickly from your system.     My advice is;      Gargle with infusion made from HENNA LEAVES heals sore throat as it has anti bacterial        Gargle with 2 tablespoons of SESAME OIL  three times a day.       Apply paint in the throat with GARLIC JUICE + HONEY mix       Chew THALISHADI VATAKAM as lozenges.       Take SEPTILIN tablet twice daily..
