In addition to stomach discomfort and discomfort, you may experience a sore throat long after vomiting; However, you don't have to endure the discomfort of this sore throat. There are a variety of therapies that can soothe the throat quickly and effectively, including easy to prepare solutions, over-the-counter medications, and natural remedies.
Steps
Method 1 of 4: Soothe your throat with simple solutions
Drink water or clear liquids. A little water after vomiting can help relieve a sore throat and help prevent dehydration. The water will remove stomach acid that may have entered your throat when you vomited.
- If there is still feeling in the stomach, you should drink water slowly and do not drink too much. In some cases, drinking too much water too quickly can cause you to vomit again. Small sips will be more helpful for a burning throat.
- You could also try drinking some apple juice or clear liquid.
Drink warm drinks. If white water doesn't soothe your throat, try drinking a warm drink, such as an herbal tea. The warmth of drinks like tea can help soothe a sore throat if you take slow sips. Be sure to check with your doctor before choosing an herbal tea, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, have diabetes or heart disease.- Ginger tea can soothe the nausea that persists and help soothe the throat, but should not be given to children under 2 years of age. You can also try peppermint tea, an herb that can soothe and numb a sore throat. Do not drink peppermint tea if you have gastroesophageal reflux disease, and do not give it to young children.
- Make sure the drink is not too hot. You can make your throat hurt more if you drink it too hot.
- Try adding honey to warm beverages. The honey added to the tea can help soothe the throat. However, honey should not be given to children under 12 months of age to avoid the risk of botulism in infants.
Gargle with warm salt water. Warm salt water can soothe a sore throat that can be caused by vomiting by reducing swelling and reducing symptoms.- To make a saltwater rinse, dissolve 1 teaspoon (5 grams) of salt in 8 ounces of warm water.
- Remember not to swallow salt water. Drinking salt water can make your stomach more upset.
Eat foods that are slippery. If you have a sore throat from vomiting but are hungry, then slippery foods can both soothe your throat and help you fill your stomach. Soft, non-hard and rough foods will be more comfortable for an irritated throat, and also help ease the sore throat from stomach acid.- Small amounts of foods like jellies, fruit ice creams and bananas are good options for sore throat relief.
- Be careful when you eat if you have just vomited, especially if you are still nauseous, as you may vomit more if you eat too much. Cool and slippery foods like yogurt or ice cream may seem appealing when you have a sore throat, but you should avoid dairy products until vomiting is completely gone.
Method 2 of 4: Take over-the-counter medications
Spray a throat spray. Throat-soothing sprays have a local anesthetic, which can help relieve a sore throat temporarily. You need to read the instructions on the product packaging to know the dosage to use.
- Throat sprays are available at pharmacies without a prescription.
Use lozenges. Similar to throat sprays, throat lozenges contain local anesthetics to relieve a sore throat. This product comes in many flavors and is available in pharmacies.
- As with over-the-counter medications, you need to use lozenges according to the instructions on the package for how much to use.
- A local anesthetic does not cure pain completely, it only provides temporary relief.
Take a pain reliever. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help reverse pain from many causes, including burning pain from vomiting. However, you need to make sure that your nausea and vomiting have stopped before taking the pain reliever, as it can upset your stomach and cause more discomfort.
- Some pain relievers you can take to relieve a sore throat include acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and aspirin.
Method 3 of 4: Use natural remedies
Consult your doctor first. Although many herbal remedies are safe for most people, don't be subjective, as not everything that is natural is safe. Herbs can interact with other medications, and some herbs can make health problems worse or unsafe for some people, such as children, pregnant women, and the elderly. You should always exercise caution and check with your doctor before trying an herbal remedy.
Gargle with licorice juice. You can boil the licorice lumber into a mouthwash to soothe a sore throat. Licorice has been shown to reduce discomfort in the throat after anesthesia, and can also help soothe a sore throat caused by vomiting.
- Some medications react with licorice, so check with your doctor if you are taking medications for high blood pressure, medicines for kidney disease, liver disease, or heart disease.
Drink mallow root tea. Mulberry root tea has nothing to do with the white marshmallow marshmallow, which is a plant with medicinal properties that include a soothing effect on a sore throat.
- Litmus root tea is often available at natural food stores and online.
- Litmus root can also soothe upset stomachs, so it can also help deal with the cause of vomiting and sore throat after vomiting.
Use slippery elm. Slippery elm wraps the throat with a gel-like substance that helps relieve burning pain. This product is usually available as a powder or lozenge. If you buy powder, mix it with hot water and drink it.
- Pregnant and lactating women should not use slippery elm.
Method 4 of 4: Seek medical attention
Know when to contact your doctor. Although the nausea and vomiting may pass quickly, there are some cases that you should contact your doctor. Even mild flu can get worse if sick people become dehydrated. Call your doctor if you or your child develops the following:
- Unable to keep food and fluids in the stomach
- Vomiting more than 3 times a day

Know when to call an ambulance. In some cases, you or your child needs immediate medical attention. Call 115 or the emergency services right away if you or the child develops the following:
- Blood in the vomitus (bright red or looks like coffee grounds)
- Severe headache or stiff neck
- Drowsiness, confusion, or decreased alertness
