Do you get a sore throat regularly?

I think I used to till I had my tonsils out.
Many years later, I am fortunate (touching wood) that I do not easily get colds or a sore throat.

I probably have one or two a year whereas I know some people who seem to get a sore throat every month.

I have one right now. I gargled with salt water

does that really help Gia?

It did work to ease the soreness.

It's worked for me too, but you have to do it regularly.

My Father used to gargle with ONE grain of Condy's Crystals, every morning of his life. (DON'T swallow, it's poisoness!)
At night, he'd always have a 'wee dram' of Scotch Whiskey.
I don't ever remember my Father being ill from anything!

No not really

I used to as a kid, but even though I have not had my tonsils removed, it seemed to pass as I grew up. Now I only get a sore throat when it's really dry out.

As a child I suffered with sore throats regularly.Firstly due to very severe chronic tosillitis which stopped when the tonsils had been removed,and then in later childhood years due to very bad sinus infections which caused post-nasal drip and thus sore throats all the time. I have not suffered a sore throat now for quite some time.I also do not seem to get colds at all any more.It could be due to living in a warm climate.

I have been soooo lucky, that more than likely I will get one next week...now.

I mean I have not had one in years....

Not as often as I used to.

by Vee

No, thank goodness!
If I do, start gargling with warm salty water as often as possible!
If it's not gone within 72 hours', to the doctor I go!

I have a permanent sore throat. It's a result of several chronic health conditions.

No I am pretty good now, as a child whole different story. Now I will only get a sore throat if I have issues with my sinus. Sinus = snoring. Snoring = sore throat.

by Shelley Murphy

No I don't.

No, not really, the only time I get a sore throat is if I have a cold,or when I was younger I had my tonsils out.
