Why it’s happening?

Woke up this morning with a sore throat, had it since yesterday night but kinda got worse, could it be allergy or the start of a cold? and any remedies on how to get rid of them?

If you're throat is sore and you are doing what the other person said to do with the warm salt water gargle and it's still sore, I wouldn't wait more than 5 days to see the doctor.
Watch for white spots on your tonsils if you still have your tonsils. If you see any, even one, you must see the doctor and get on antibiotics.
Sore throats always worry me because there are many bad illness's that start with a sore throat then turn into something bad. This happened to me and I couldn't even sit up the next morning when I went to sleep 😴 with just a sore throat.
If I sat up or stood up I would vomit.🤮 I was like that for 3 weeks and missed 3 week's of work.
Finally one of my coworkers took me to the Emergency Room and they referred me to a neurologist. He said he didn't know what was wrong with me, but gave me a prescription for Kolonipin. The very next day I turned the corner and felt so much better. Went back to work after 3 days of taking the medication.
Another thing that can start out with just a sore throat can be a very serious medical condition called Lemierre's disease. It can be fatal.
I know this is too much information, but you need to be well informed when it comes to a sore throat. Most people blow off a sore throat, but give it 4-5 day's and that's without a fever. Fever is a game changer for sure.

I just answered another person here that has a sore throat. His question was How long does a sore throat last?

This was my opinion I gave him.

Get well soon and try to find the other anonymous guys question that is above yours one and read more opinions.

Flu balm helps with soar throat. You do warm lemon water, with honey and garlic in it then drink that! Or honey and garlic on a spoon and swallow it

Ahh dude that's no fun to wake up with a sore throat. It's tough to say exactly what's causing it, could be a few different things.

If it's happening along with other cold-like symptoms like a runny nose, cough, stuffy head, then it's probably just the beginning of a regular cold. Those usually go away in a week or so on their own.

But if it's ONLY your throat that's bugging you without other sick feeling, it might be allergies acting up too. This is a pretty common time of year for pollen and stuff to irritate people.

Either way, some things that can help soothe it:
- Gargle warm salt water. Dissolve a teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water and swish it around your throat a few times a day.
- Hot tea with honey is very soothing on a sore throat.
- Throat lozenges or cough drops can coat and numb the pain area temporarily.
- Stay hydrated drinking water. Your throat will thank you!
- Try not to talk too much if you can avoid it - give your vocal cords a rest.

If it's not better in a week or gets really painful, you might wanna check with your parents just in case. But usually rest and comfort stuff is all you need for a sore throat. Hope you feel better soon man!

Not allergy.

Most likely the air conditioning made the air dry.

Hang a moist (not dripping) towel somewhere in room or lower the a/c FAN or raise temperature closer to 75 degrees Fahrenheit.

So it’s the start of a cold?

Is it dangerous/any remedies for that?

If you can handle it, hold 1/4 clove of garlic between your molar and just let the juices go down your throat. This kills 90% of my colds overnight. Another thing that often works is a glass of brandy before going to sleep.
