A study published in&nbsp;<strong>Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine<\/strong>&nbsp;reports the possibility that some symptoms such as sore throat could be relieved by drinking it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People with sore throats following surgery were asked to drink distilled water and green tea.&nbsp;The throat pain suffered by the latter group was less than that of the former.&nbsp;These results were attributed to the anti-inflammatory properties of green tea&#8217;s catechins and glycoproteins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Black Tea<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Camellia sinensis is the same plant that makes black tea as green tea. However, it&#8217;s made differently.&nbsp;Although no studies have been done on black tea&#8217;s effectiveness in sore throat relief, researchers have examined its antimicrobial properties.&nbsp;According to reports published in reports black tea is effective against many strains of bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tea with Lemon and Honey<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can sweeten your tea in many different ways, but honey is a good choice if you have a sore or aching throat.&nbsp;The effectiveness of tea with honey and lemon after third-molar surgery that involved an endotracheal tube was tested in International Dentistry.&nbsp;This tea provided some relief from symptoms, but it was not as effective as medicated lozenges.&nbsp;However, honey and lemon juice may help reduce irritation by coating the tissues of your throat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Other Home Remedies to Sore Throats<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only is hot tea a home remedy for sore throats, but it&#8217;s not the only one.&nbsp;Warm liquids such as broth and hot tea may also help.&nbsp;You can get some relief by gargling with salt water or sucking on lozenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all sore throats can only be treated by home remedies.&nbsp;Your doctor should be consulted if your sore throat persists for more than one week, or if it is severe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your sore throat is accompanied with other concerns, such as joint pains, earache or facial swelling, it is recommended you consult a doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are feeling unwell, you can try home remedies like drinking hot tea to soothe your sore throat.&nbsp;There are many options for herbal teas, green teas, black teas, and tea with honey and lemon.&nbsp;These home remedies may not work for you, so consult your doctor if your sore throat persists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the\u00a0National Health Service\u00a0warns: Sore throats are common in winter.
