Natural treatment for sore throat

gargle with salt in water.

One tespoon of salt in a quart of water makes normal saline. This means that the salinity of the solution is equal to that in your body. So I would recommend that you add one and a half teaspoons. And Nuke it before use. Meaning bring it up to your body temperature.

My Dr. told me to swallow a tsp. of Mylanta and it will coat your throat.

Hot salty water  3 times a day is my fav, and then wait it out.

How about a teaspoon of honey?

When you have a sore throat it is important to get lots of rest and drink lots of liquids (but make sure you don’t drink any dairy). And while drinking herbal tea can help you feel much better, here’s another way that chamomile tea can give you relief. Brew some chamomile tea and let it cool just enough for you to be able to handle the heat. Soak a white towel in it, wring it out and place it on your throat. Once the towel loses its heat, dip it in the tea again, wring it out and reapply.
Here’s a tea you gargle with, but don’t swallow. Steep three tea bags in a cup of boiling water-use the non-herbal kind-until the tea is very, very dark. Let cool slightly and gargle with the still hot beverage. Remember, don’t swallow. Repeat this every hour until you begin to feel better

A sore throat is an infection that can be either viral or bacterial. It is most commonly caused by a contagious viral infection (such as the flu, cold or mononucleosis), although more serious throat infections can be caused by a bacterial infection (such as strep, mycoplasma or hemophilus). Bacterial sore throats respond well to antibiotics while viral infections do not. For viral infections, there are many natural remedies that you can take to cure a sore throat like the above suggested. Some of these folk remedies work within an hour or two, others take effect overnight.
