Answers:
Gargle with warm salt water. It's the quickest way to rid yourself of a sore throat. Do it whenever you can. but the best result is morning and especially at night. Don't rinse out your mouth after gargling with the warm salt water because you'll rinse out the iodine that actually is what helps you get over your sore throat.Health Question & Answer

85% of all sore throats are viral and nothing affects their duration. The recently published NICE guideline 69, which covers all respiratory illness, now clearly advises against routine antibiotic use.

Paracetamol helps fever and discomfort and you should drink plenty. Local sprays such as Chloraseptic and Difflam may reduce symptoms. Neither salt water nor aspirin gargles should be used, in fact aspirin is locally irritant and increases local pain.

Vitamins, notably high dose vitamin C, oranges, lemons, limes,honey, soup, alcohol, zinc, garlic, teas, ginger, vinegar, eggs, slippery elm and echinacea have no effect at all.Health Question & Answer
