Hi Phyllis, drink lots of fluids help soothe your sore throat and it also provide needed fluids for your nutrition while breastfeeding. You can help soothe your sore throat and provide needed fluids for your nutrition while breastfeeding. You can try drinking hot lemonade with honey stirred in, because the honey coats your throat and the citric acid of the lemons provides vitamin C. Fenugreek tea is another option for breastfeeding mothers, and as a bonus, fenugreek is known to boost your milk production, add honey to sweeten your tea. Another option is to gargle.A variety of gargles that you can make at home help to reduce sore throats. Mix 1 tsp. of salt into an 8 oz. glass of warm water, gargling the solution and then spitting it out. Repeat this several times every day until your throat feels better. Another option is to mix ½ to 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar with warm water and gargle. Hope you'll get well soon.
