What to do if i need a home remedy for a sore throat.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Slippery Elm: For significant sore throat with swollen tonsils / lymph nodes – see physician & get a strep throat test / culture. Try adding 2 tsp of slippery elm bark to 1 cup of hot water (steep for at least 5 minutes in a covered teapot). Drink this as needed to relieve pain or a few times per day. Slippery elm bark lozenges are another option.
