How do I treat a sore throat?
<|assistant|>
There are several home remedies you can try to treat a sore throat. One is gargling with salt water. Mix 1 teaspoon of salt in 8 ounces of warm water and gargle the solution for 30-60 seconds. Other treatments include sucking on throat lozenges or sucking on frozen chips of peppermint and clementine oranges. Try drinking chamomile or peppermint tea, or swallowing a cool beverage like milk or fruit juice to reduce pain and discomfort. You can also use a humidifier to reduce inflammation, or use a warm wet towel to put over your face and neck. If the pain persists, consider consulting your doctor.
