5. Steam Inhalation
Steam inhalation is commonly recommended for sinus infections and can help to clear out phlegm and mucus. This is great if you are struggling to breathe and that in itself can help you out by preventing you from needing to constantly breathe through your mouth and thereby giving the throat a little respite.
Steam inhalation will also help to relax the muscles of the throat however and open up the airways, making it a triple threat for combating sore throats. To use, simply hang your head over a bowl of hot water and drape a towel around you to prevent the steam escaping. Taking a nice warm bath will also do you good.
