Question: should you gargle with salt water for laryngitis?
Answer: You can soothe a sore and irritated throat with warm salt water. Stir 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of salt into an 8-ounce glass of warm water. Take a sip into your mouth and gargle it around the back of your throat, then spit it out. The water will cool in your mouth, so take another sip and repeat as often as necessary.
