Is milk good for a sore throat?

FAQ

Milk may not be the best beverage to soothe a sore throat as it can increase mucus production and may make swallowing more difficult. In some cases, dairy products like milk can cause throat irritation or allergy symptoms that worsen a sore throat.

Instead, it is recommended to drink warm liquids such as herbal teas, clear broths, or warm water with honey or lemon. These can help soothe a sore throat and provide relief.

It is important to note that if your sore throat is severe or accompanied by other symptoms such as fever, difficulty breathing, or swollen glands, you should consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
