Sore throat on and off for past 2 months
I have been suffering from sore throat for about 1.5-2 months intermittently. I have it for 4-5 days sometimes accompanied by cold and fever every 2-3 weeks.
I am having hot water constantly, gargle whenever I have sore throat and haven't had cold drinks/ice creams during all this time.
Please help

Hello there...... Rest. Get plenty of sleep and rest your voice.
Drink fluids. Drink plenty of water to keep the throat moist and prevent dehydration.
Try comforting foods and beverage. Warm liquids — broth, caffeine-free tea or warm water with honey — and cold treats such as ice pops can soothe a sore throat.
Gargle saltwater. A saltwater gargle of 1 teaspoon. Gargle the solution and then spit it out.....
