3. Carry salt. I'd stopped carrying a little plastic bag of table salt, but I would have loved to have had it to soak my thumb in. It's great for a sore throat as well.
Salt is great, as it can also be used if you need to make a rehydration solution in case of severe diarrhea or vomiting on longer trips. You'd have to carry 4 times the amount of sugar too though.
I love my vial of poviodine - diluted it can be used as a gargle as well, and is a better diluted soak than the salt.
