There is nothing worse for a singer than coming down with a sore throat,
especially if its day before a big gig (it’s like Christiano Ronaldo
losing a leg before the Champion’s League Final!) There are many
medicines and tricks that have been passed down generations for helping
sore throats, many of which have little effect.
Having a singing sore throat
can be caused by excessive singing and straining your vocal cords. The
best thing to do is to give your throat a rest for a couple of days.
Drinking a cold drink and resting your throat will help to relieve some
of the pain caused by a sore throat; however this will take a couple of
days. Using medicines will help cure your sore throat much quicker, so
you can be ready for that big gig.
There are many other medicines which can be purchased over the counter
and via prescription which could also help get rid of that sore throat.
Lozenges and throat sprays can help relieve the pain of a sore throat
although they won’t treat it. These can be helpful for sore throat singing, as the effects will be lessened.
However, if you are thinking of singing with a sore throat,
then using throat pastilles which contain myrrh could be the best move
for you. The active ingredient of myrrh works as an anti-inflammatory
and antiseptic, it has been used to treat sore throats for thousands of
years. Throat pastilles will relieve the irritation of a sore throat
making it easier for you to sing.
