yup, the gargling does help.
sore throat is related to hayfever
so it's something that i will have on and off until september!!!

i've been to the chemists and acquired a mini-pharmacy
- 2 types of nasal sprays, inhaler, hayfever tablets, eye drops, you name it!

didn't have hayfever back home (in manila) and i lived there for 20 yrs.
