Hi,
A friend of mine has strep throat, is on meds but her throat is still very sore. Does anyone know of any sore throat remedies that really work?
Thanks!

I've never had strep throat, but I've had many a sore throat and gargling with salt water has always helped.
Here's what Mayo Clinic online offers as home care:
Gargle with warm salt water. For older children and adults, gargling several times a day can help relieve throat pain. Mix 1/4 teaspoon (1.2 milliliters) of table salt in 8 ounces (237 milliliters) of warm water. Be sure to tell your child to spit out the liquid after gargling.

I was interested to read their remedial plans, but your link is broken.
Just thought you'd want to know.
