Saltwater gargle

A salt and water gargle might help calm a scratchy throat that makes you cough, even though the treatment may appear quite simple. It's most often used for sore throats, viral respiratory infections like colds, or sinus infections.


It's advised to gargle with a solution of half a teaspoon of salt dissolved in a full glass of warm water for a few seconds before spitting it out. The water can be better at a warm temperature because a sore throat may find warmth more soothing than cold. In general, it's also more pleasant. However, it won't affect the efficiency of the treatment if you prefer cold water. Adults can try combining warm water with lemon and honey for a more pleasant remedy for cough and sore throat. It should be noted that children under the age of six are not particularly adept at gargling, therefore it is best to try alternative treatments instead.
