Sore Throat Gargle
A warm salt water and honey gargle soothes throat irritation — a first-line home remedy for a scratchy, sore throat.
What you'll need
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tsp honey (optional)
Steps
- Dissolve salt (and honey, if using) in warm water.
- Gargle for 30 seconds and spit out.
- Repeat every few hours as needed.
Tip: A sore throat with high fever, difficulty swallowing, or lasting more than a week deserves a doctor's visit.
