Can pickle juice help ease a sore throat?

Try salt water gargl: If your throat is very inflamed then I am concerned that the acidic nature of pickle juice will actually irritate your throat more. Try warm salt water gargles, humidification, topical benzocaine sprays or viscous lidocaine. Feel better!
