Sore throat home remedies 

A sore throat is an indication that you have an infection in your body. This is manifested in a sore throat and could be accompanied by fever too. If you do notice any other symptoms like fever or body ache, you should consult your doctor since these could be indicative of some other medical condition.




You can treat your sore throat by sipping hot water. Adding the juice of half a lemon to this and a tablespoon of honey will make this a healthy drink that you can drink at least thrice a day. You can also make an easy herbal decoction. Grate a piece of fresh ginger and add this to one cup of water. Boil this till the water is reduced to half. Strain and then add a tablespoon of honey. Drink this at least twice a day for relief from the sore throat. Eating garlic will give you relief too. You can eat the garlic raw. You can also peel three or four pods of garlic, chop them roughly and boil them  in a cup of hot milk. Boil till the milk is reduced in half.  You can add some sugar to this and drink it at bedtime. Another bedtime drink that will give you relief is hot milk to which a pinch of turmeric has been added. Gargling will also give you relief. You can add a p inch of salt to the hot water. Turmeric, because of its antiseptic properties, is another option when gargling.
