Gargling salt water is an effective way to treat a sore throat, as salt is shown to prevent harmful bacteria and other pathogens from causing further inflammation and infection in the throat.
Though salt water is typically meant to be gargled, some people wonder whether swallowing it is also safe and effective at treating a sore throat.
Salt water can be safely swallowed. However, swallowing too much at once or on a regular basis may increase your risk for problems, including dehydration and high blood pressure.
Many doctors recommend spitting out salt water after gargling it to soothe a sore throat, especially if you have an infection. If you do choose to swallow it, keep in mind there may be health consequences if you do it too often.
Talk to your doctor before swallowing salt water solutions for a sore throat. Some doctors may recommend swallowing salt water for other health reasons, such as to replace lost sodium in the body or to improve digestion. Drinking salt water may also help flush toxins and wastes from your system due to the way it can stimulate bowel movements.
Swallowing salt water can increase your risk for diarrhea and dehydration. It may also increase your risk for calcium deficiency and kidney damage, especially if you add too much salt to your glass of water.
Salt water usually isn't appetizing and doesn't taste very good, which is why many people choose to spit it out after gargling. The cons of swallowing salt water often outweigh the pros, especially if your primary goal of drinking it is to treat a sore throat.
