Sore throat: If you have a significantly sore throat w swollen tonsils / lymph nodes – see your medical provider & get a strep throat test & culture. Saltwater gargles are very helpful. Mix a teaspoon of salt in 8 oz of warm water – gargle with this several times a day. You can gargle with aloe vera juice a couple of times per day. A mixture of chamomile tea with honey & a small amount of lemon juice is good.

Gargling salt water: If your throat is red and you have swollen tonsils- it is best to get a streph throat test. However, mixing salt in warm water and gargling can be remarkably effective.
