Try gargling with warm salt water and drinking warm liquids like broth or hot chocolate. That always helps me.

Gargling with salted hot water is the best. It always works for me. Even my son does it whenever he has sore throats. It’s a simple home-made recipe that works wonders for the throat.

I like to drink a lot of Gatorade. Oh, and lots of chapstick helps, too.

Ginger broth with lemon and honey. That's very effective, but be sure you're not allergic to honey.

Gargle with water and salt solution. You should also drink warm or tepid water. Refrain from eating spicy or sweet foods.

Gargle warm salt water, even hot if you can stand it. Drink a lot of other cool fluids, light colored only. Yellow gatorade or clear uncaffeinated sodas.

i would suggest you get some zinc losenges for your throat. they are available at any health food store but if you cant get them, hot tea with some honey in it would also help.

Anything with honey it will help soothe a sore throat. I use like cough drops from halls those help a lot as well. Gargling hot water with salt in it does help as a fellow mylotter suggested. I myself try to drink as much water as possiable too it will help your throat feel better. I also would stay away from milk because it starts bateria as well. I hope this helps and happy mylotting!

I like taking throat lozeneges the best. They help. Also drinking tea at night soothes it. And drinking a lot of liquids, mainly water, help make it feel better. Or gargale with salt and water

I gargle Betadine mouthwash. It's so effective, your sore throat would only last in less than 3 days. Of course, you need to avoid drinking cold water, eating sweet foods like chocolate and candies so that it won't get severe. Having sufficient time in sleeping will also help you feel better(8 hours at least). When I was a kid, I also used to gargle warm water with salt. I should say it's not as effective as gargling Betadine mouthwash.
