Soothe A Sore Throat With Apple Cider Vinegar

A vinegar solution is a great alternative to soothing a sore throat. Not only will it help ease the pain, but it's also a disinfectant. Start with a glass of warm water and add a tablespoon of salt and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. Alternatively, you can swap the salt out for honey. Take either solution and use it to gargle several times a day to soothe your sore throat.

In addition to killing any bacteria, the solution coats your throat and might help loosen phlegm. However, only use it to gargle and don't actually drink it as you would some medicines.
