is it ok to drink sprite if u have a very bad sore throat?

Answer:

it won't hurt but won't help either. usually something warm works better like tea, or hot cocoa. gargle with warm water and salt. and use throat lozengers. A soar throat is just a bummer to fix

If you have a very bad sore throat, I wouldn't think so. I would recommend drinking cold water.

---

It would be fine, but the acidic part of it might burn going down.

---

Sore throat no cold liquids or foods IE. ice cream..Room temperature ginger ale is fine.

---

no it will make it worse by burning it try honey it will patch up your throght and stay away from softdrinks

---

If the carbonation bothers you're throat, let the Sprite get flat. Anything to keep you hydraed!

---

no...becuz the acid and bubbles in it makes your throat hurt when it goes down..sprite is really only good for a stomach ache..its not gonna kill ya or anything..lol...but i doesnt help

---

drink hot water with lemon and honey in it. That's what I use when I sing to soothe my throat prior to performing.

---

no becausr the acid in the lemon/lime will burn it. sprite is good for an upset stomach because the bubbles soothe ur tummy!

---

I have a pretty bad sore throat right now myself, and I tried Sprite the other day... it was painful. Try some hot herbal tea with honey mixed into it. This is the only thing I find soothing.

---

No way. Drink hot liquids. If you want the pain to go away, add cayenne pepper to hot tea. Worked for me. I got the advice from the website below and tried it. It worked so great.

It is ok to drink anything that soothes your throat. But go slow on sugary drinks. They tend to dehydrate although it may seem ok when you drink it. Take in soups or broths or even warm milk. Gargling with warm salty water or mouthwash can reduce the pain and inconvenience. You can find some good home remedies at http://ailments.in/sorethroat.html...
