There are several options for gargling with a sore throat, including:

• Saltwater: Dissolve 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water and gargle (but dont swallow) the mixture every three hours for an all-natural sore throat remedy. Salt water can help reduce swelling and irritation in your throat.

• Baking soda: Mix 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda and 1/8 teaspoon of salt into 1 cup of warm water. Use it three to four times daily and rinse your mouth with plain water afterward. This oral solution can reduce bacteria and prevent the growth of fungi.

Its important to note that gargling with warm salt water or baking soda is not a cure for a sore throat, but it can help alleviate symptoms. If your sore throat persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, its best to see a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
