When you have a sore throat from a cold, here are three simple and practical ways to help relieve the symptoms:

Drink warm water: drinking warm water can help soothe the discomfort of a sore throat. Warm water helps keep your throat moisturized and reduces pain and inflammation. You can drink warm water in moderation, taking small sips every so often to keep your throat moist.

2. Salt water gargle: Gargling with warm salt water is also an effective way to relieve a sore throat. Add a teaspoon of salt to a cup of warm water, stir well and use it to gargle. Salt water reduces inflammation and pain in the throat while cleansing the throat area.

3. Throat sprays: Throat sprays are a common remedy for sore throat. The medication in the spray forms a protective coating on the surface of the throat, reducing pain and discomfort. Before using a spray, make sure you follow the directions on the medication instructions for proper use. Please note that these methods are only ways to relieve a sore throat and do not cure a cold. If symptoms continue to worsen or you experience other serious symptoms, seek medical attention.
