Question: I have a scratchy throat. what can I take to help while on Ativan.
Brief Answer:
Salt water gargling
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM.
Usually, having a sore throat is nothing to worry about -- most are caused by cold and flu germs.
Kindly provide additional information, when it started, if it only day or two, I would suggest you to wait for another day or so before going for any medication.
Presently I would have suggested you to drink plenty of water and do a sale water gargling three times a day. You can take over the counter throat lozenges which will reduce your symptom.
As most of the scratchy throat stress vital in nature, they will be self limiting, you should be fine by week
Take care.
