[substeps] Salt water is best taken when the swollen tissues are covered in mucus or other fluids. Do not use a kid juice drink or even a small amount of unbracedable milk. Bitter foods are often left in a mouth for several hours after the infection. [substeps] If you are dehydrated and have a sore throat, gargle one teaspoon of salt of water each day. Once this is achieved, a fresh, warm mouthful may help to reduce pain and swelling. [substeps] Alternatively, use a flannel cloth or towel to gargle with the salt water and apple cider vinegar. If you can deal with a bad taste, consider adding your teaspoon of salt to a mixture of equal parts warm water and apple cider vinegar. Though there's no clear explanation for it, apple cider vinegar seems more effective than other vinegars at soothing sore throats.
