Specializes in Psychiatry

Throat pain: For significant sore throat with swollen tonsils / lymph nodes – see physician & get a strep throat test/ culture. Pour boiling water over thinly sliced ginger. Steep 5 min. in a covered pot. Add 2 to 3 tbs honey & sip. Saltwater gargles: Mix 1 tsp salt in 8 oz warm water – gargle several times a day.
