Salt water gargle is one way but the other is a lot nicer if under 5 1tsp honey if 12 or over 1tablespoon of honey it really does work just don't drink afterwords or the effect wears off. it really does work especially at night you take it as you go to lay down you get a better cough relief than from cough syrup works great for cough too.

You gotten some really good answers to your question. Everything mentioned does help! The salt water, is an old antiseptic. Honey also has some features that prevent infection and promote healing, even on a cut. If you live in a town or city with a municipal water supply, they are probably chlorinating the water and as such, just drinking some warm water will help. Gargling helps but usually, bacteria that makes your throat sore doesn't survive in stomach acid and bacteria that gives you an upset stomach doesn't make your throat sore. Oh, a dilution of hydrogen peroxide 1 part to 10 of water also helps but don't swallow that, gargle it. I've even heard that eating yogurt with active live cultured bacteria helps for some. Hope this helps.



Dissolve 2 teaspoonsful of salt in a cup of warm water and gargle with it. Repeat ever 2-3 hours. Do not swallow the salt water.Take Tylenol or ibuprofen by mouth.
