Sore throat

2020-06-15 15:42:12
Hello Doctor, I took steam 2-3 times with inhalade and after that I started feeling sore throat. I don't have cold but when I take stema, little mucus comes out. Even when I gulp something, there is irritation. Can you suggest some home remedies or over the counter medicine ? I have been doing gargles with salt water. Should stop taking steam ?
