Basic cures for a sore throat
Gargling with salt water helps cut down on sore throats caused by irritants like dry air or allergies.
Prevention is the best medicine for sore throats through irritation or viral infections. A sore throat in the morning could be caused by dryness from breathing or acid reflux while you're sleeping.
A humidifier can rectify the dry air, and arranging your bed or pillows so that your head is slightly elevated can prevent sore throats due to reflux.
