Salt water for sore throats

The sore throat that I had last night just got worse over night, so this morning I have started it on a salt water treatment.

This is something that I learned back when I was about 12 or 13 and had tonsillitis, a doctor at a military hospital poked my tonsils to let them drain rather than remove them and prescribed me to gargle with 1 teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water several times a day to help fight the infection. It works great.

Throat still hurts, but already feels a bit better between the salt water half an hour ago and the cold Slim Fast I am sipping now.
