Answer 1

Hi Chelsea.
Gargling is an effective way to soothe your throat and the inflammation that exists. There are a number of solutions you can gargle with. Salt water is among the most popular of these. Simply mix 1 teaspoon of salt with an eight-ounce glass of warm water. Gargle the whole mixture and repeat every hour as necessary. This combination will increase the blood supply to the area by washing out the mucous and dilating the capillaries. You can also gargle with diluted lemon juice in warm water, or add 1 spoon of bourbon or whiskey to a glass of water to numb the area. Chamomile tea cooled to a lukewarm temperature for gargling has also been known to be soothing.

Swallowing one to two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar combined with a glass of water can be effective, since the acidity in the vinegar kills bacteria on contact. Drinking a cup of warm water mixed with thirty drops of Echinacea every two hours or ginger pieces boiled in water and sipped slowly will also have soothing effects. Licorice tea will also help clear up the mucous, helping to ease your sore throat. In general, cool drinks or Popsicles can also help with your pain.

Take a glass of not too hard water but warm enough to out it in your mouth.. then put 1and a half spoon of salt in the warm water. Gargle it all the way down until you feel it has touched the inside of your throat. Gargle the whole glass, for about a day or two, and it will go away in no time! ;)
