How can you treat a sore throat with home remedies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gargle with listerin: Gargle with worm water and salt.Avoid smoking .Avoid dehydration by drinking water .You can gargle with 1/2 warm water and 1/2 listerine. For an extremely bad sore throat, add a cap-full of hydrogen peroxide to the mix too.Then spit it out. Warm beverages help soothe the discomfort. For best results, drink a hot tea infused with ginger and a touch of honey. Sip slowly, gently clearing your throat.
