Sore throat?

Gargle twice daily with a solution of six pressed garlic cloves mixed into a glass of warm (not hot) water. Follow the regimen for 3 days. A recent study shows that fresh garlic juice has antimicrobial properties that fight pain-causing bacteria. The warm liquid soothes inflamed tissue.

I found this on line. I have not tried it myself, but if you try it, let me know if it works for you!

I think it is just a quarantine technique to keep you from giving a sore throat to others. If you already have a cold, then add garlic breath to the equation, no one will ever hang out with you. Maybe just some garlic toast with your chicken noodle soup.
