It depends on what you are gargling and the cause for the sore throat. Most sore throats are a result of bacterial or viral infection, and gargling frequently with a salt water solution can be very beneficial.
Yes. It helps take down the swelling and can also help your throat feel better. You can also try swishing and gargling peroxide in your mouth. IT helps dull the pain.
You have a sore throat. It can be caused by a viral infection, and it can be a strep infection (strep throat). Gargling with warm salt water for 30 seconds at least 4 times a day can help it get better sooner.
The doctor at the E.R. can give you a liquid to drink that will numb your throat for 8 hours. If the pill is not working thry gargling with warm salt water and maybe they will give you the liquid.
Stop yelling :) Seriously, though, throat lozenges or salt water gargling can help. The sore throat (and the hoarse voice) are caused by rapid and large vibrations in your vocal cords, which causes strain. This usually takes several days to recover your normal voice.
Gargling is just a method to get medicine or saline (salt water) deep into your sore throat without drowning or swallowing the solutions. What reduces the pain is the solution used in the gargle. Usually this is a saline solution because saline is very soothing to mucous tissues and helps inflammation. See the related question below for more tips on how to get rid of a sore throat.
The best time to gargle with salt water is usually in the morning or before bed, as these are times when you are less likely to eat or drink right after. Gargling with salt water can help with a sore throat, mouth ulcers, or oral hygiene.
Try gargling salt water or go to your doctor.
Gargling with warm salt water can help loosen mucus in the throat, making it easier to expel. However, it may not completely get rid of mucus, especially if it's a persistent issue. Drinking plenty of fluids and using a humidifier may also help alleviate mucus buildup.
