Warm salt gargles thrice a day, honey licked slowly off a spoon, and turmeric milk at night — most sore throats yield in two days. Older children can suck a mulethi stick. Pain beyond three days, high fever, or white spots — see the doctor.
A spoon licked slowly coats the raw throat (above one year).
