    gargle with apple cider vinegar.......take a full, 8 oz. glass of room temperature water; not cold, not hot........ad 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar......gargle the entire glass, one gargle at a time, of course!!!....you know, gargle, spit it out, gargle, spit it out, until the water is gone.

    If you do this at the FIRST SIGN of throat scratchiness, & do it at least 3 to 4 times during the day, say, every 3 or 4 h ours, I GUARANTEE your sore throat will be gone by the end of the day.......

    Even once you have the sore throat, this helps a lot....vinegar is a bacteriacide and kills germs.

    of course the salt thing is good, too, but I prefer vinegar for some reason.

    And make sure each time you finish the glass of water, you rinse your mouth out...no need to have vinegar doin' it's thing on your tooth enamel!!

    Hot glass of milk with black pepper powder slowly have it..its gonna burn first then it will be better.
    Lukewarm water with honey and ginger..at some time interval...helps to get some relief.
    Hot soup helps too.

    usually my doc asks me to have hot milk since it is good for health.
