Answer #7

For minor sore throats try gargling warm salt water (1 tsp sea, Kosher, or canning salt to 1 pint water) twice a day. Products like Chloroseptic can make you more comfortable by deadening the pain.

For bad sore throats or ones that don’t go away on their own in a few days see your doctor.
