A member asked:

I've been having a sore throat since january, every other month i'm getting sick. i've had virus symptoms as well.

Throat Irrigation: Recurrent sore throat can be helped by local pulsed irrigation. You air the stream of warm water to just behind the last tooth. The pulsation and massage removes surface bacteria, reduces swelling and lymph-edema Twice a day irrigation is often sufficient. Also chew Xylitol chewing gum..
