What can you do to alleviate your throat that feels like it is on fire?

You take apply an ointment that contains eucalyptus around your throat, take some lozenges that have the cooling effect like strepsils and you can also have a home made remedy to cool the long term effect for instance; take teaspoon of ginger powder or real ginger, mix it with a table spoon of honey(or two if its too bitter) and a two slices of lemon, bring to boil then drink when its still warm and the sore should subside. Also you can gurgle salt in warm water before bed and when you wake up.
