It is a toolbar that will import Sore Throat Home
Remedies news. It is important to avoid antibiotics
when a sore throat is due to infection with a virus.
The antibiotics will not help. Using them to treat
viral infections helps strengthen bacteria to become
resistant to antibiotics.
Most sore throats are soon over. In the meantime, the
following remedies may help:
Drink warm liquids. Honey or lemon tea is a time-
tested remedy.
Gargle several times a day with warm salt water (1/2
tsp of salt in 1 cup water).
Drink cold liquids or suck on popsicles.
Suck on hard candies or throat lozenges to soothe your
sore throat. This is often as effective as more
expensive remedies. DO NOT use candies or lozenges in
young children because of the choking risk.
Use a cool-mist vaporizer or humidifier to moisten and
soothe a dry and painful throat
