Do I have a remedy for sore throats? Ive got good news for you, my top 5 home remedies for sore throat is what I will be sharing with you today  on the show and its all thanks to Mayo clinic . org  

Gargle

Gargle with Salt Water

Gargle with warm salt water. It works. The salt pulls the mucous out of your swollen, inflamed tissue and helps relieve the discomfort of a sore throat.

According to the Mayo Clinic, you should combine one teaspoon of table salt with eight ounces of warm water. Stir until the salt dissolves, then gargle with it for several seconds. Spit it out, and repeat the salt gargle several times each day.

Honey

Enjoy a Drop of Honey

Warm tea sweetened with honey can help soothe your irritated throat. Tea also keeps you hydrated, which is another important step in treating a sore throat. Brew up a cup next time a sore throat starts to tickle.

Honey has another benefit when you’re sick. Research shows honey is an effective cough suppressant, even when compared to prescription cough medication.

Other warm fluids, including soup, can also help you find some relief. Just make sure all the food and drinks are warm, not hot. Hot tea or hot soup may actually burn your already-sensitive throat and make the problem worse.

Hydration

Stay Hydrated

Staying hydrated is an important part of treating a sore throat. When you’re dehydrated, your body can’t produce enough saliva and mucus to keep your throat naturally lubricated.

Steam Shower

Give Yourself a Steam Shower

If you don’t have a humidifier, you can still get relief from moist air. Steam inhalation from a shower or sink filled with hot water can help reduce swelling and ease the pain of a sore throat.

While in a warm shower, take deep breaths. You can also create steam relief by running very hot water in a sink. Drape a towel over your head and lean into the sink to breathe in the steam. Keep taking deep breaths for several minutes, and repeat this as necessary to ease your sore throat.

See a Doctor

See a Doctor if Necessary

You don’t have to suffer a sore throat. Plenty of over-the-counter and home-treatment remedies can help you find relief when the pain and discomfort from a sore throat takes hold.

Still, it’s important to remember that not every sore throat will go away on its own. If you experience severe pain when swallowing, develop a high fever, or begin vomiting or feeling nauseous, you may want to make an appointment with your doctor. Your sore throat may actually be a sign of a bigger problem. So try these home remedies and thank me later.
