Ease a sore throat with home remedies
Why this matters
A sore throat is rarely serious but can make eating, sleeping, and working miserable. Simple remedies from your kitchen ease the pain while your body recovers.
What you need
Warm water, salt, and honey or lemon if you have them.
These are everyday items. If you don’t have one, look for the closest alternative — the steps will tell you what to use instead.
How to do it
Follow these steps in order. Take your time. You’ve got this.
Gargle with a glass of warm water mixed with half a teaspoon of salt several times a day.
Sip warm drinks with honey or lemon to soothe the throat and stay hydrated.
Rest your voice and watch for high fever, difficulty swallowing, or symptoms lasting over a week.
Your one thing today
Mix a warm salt-water gargle now and use it once to feel how it soothes the throat.
Don’t wait for the perfect moment. Do this one thing now, even if it’s small.
