This really isn't some scientific breakthrough. It's just a first-aid measure that have been taught to me by my father's friend. First, you crush and dilute the tablet in half a glass of lukewarm water. The measurements don't have to be so accurate, it's only a home remedy. And add 1 to 2 pinches of salt (sodium chloride or table salt) until it dissolves. Then gargle it like you would with a normal saline gargle. It works better than just normal saline. Well, at least for me. But seek your doctor's opinion about this. Aspirin may not be good for you.

oh, i see. but really it was more effective for me than when it was just salt. But perhaps just psychological
