Peppermint, with its high menthol content, is a cool, refreshing ally against the fiery sensation of strep throat.

Menthol naturally soothes throat irritation and acts as a mild anesthetic, providing a cooling sensation that can momentarily relieve throat pain.

Brew peppermint tea, or even suck on peppermint lozenges. The key is to allow the peppermint essence to linger in the throat, extending its soothing effects.

Use peppermint in moderation, as the goal is to soothe without overwhelming your throat with too intense a sensation.

Incorporating peppermint into your regular symptom management strategy can offer pockets of relief that contribute to your overall comfort throughout the day. (4)
