Throat Infection Home Cures
Laryngitis is a condition wherein the larynx, or the voice box, becomes inflamed and very badly sore. This renders a person unable to speak, since the voice then cannot emerge through the throat. This condition is often painful due to the swelling and can last for a while if not taken care of properly.
It is always best to use home remedies to take care of laryngitis, unless you have an infection of some sort. Infections may require medical care, so don't neglect consulting a doctor to ensure you can manage without antibiotics.
The best thing to do for laryngitis is gargle with warm water to which a tablespoon of salt and a quarter teaspoon of turmeric powder has been added.
The salt will help with bringing down the swelling, the warmth of the water will soothe and the turmeric will heal your throat. If you can, do this every alternate hour. Also, try to make the water reasonably hot, rather than merely lukewarm. Keep a clove in your mouth all the time. The juices of the clove will flow down to your throat and help with bringing down the swelling as well as healing. You must also refrain from talking while you have this problem. It is also essential to rest as much as possible, so that your body will be able to fight the disease better.
