Strepsils are good, as they contain anti septic and they help to numb the throat slightly. you can also buy a spray now that numbs the back of the throat. Drink warm drinks as a sore throat can dry out with makes it feel worse. Aspirin works a treat.
Try to AVOID Ice cream and cold drinks, contrary to popular belief these actually irritate the sore throat and make it worse.

Buy some vitamin A 200 IU liquid capsules and pop one open with a pin. Squirt it at the back of your throat and swallow. DON"T take more then 3 or you will get a toxic reaction.
Also make sure to take some vitamin C, 200 milligrams every hour.
Throat Coat tea from Traditional Medicinals is also great. You can buy it at a health foods store.
Hope you feel better soon.

A simple pain killer like Tylenol or asprinin will help a lot, although are almost never considered for a sore throat. Best wishes

lemon tea - sip slowly. Vitamin C chewabl tablets are great for shortening the symptoms of all colds... I'd know because I'm suffering from a sore throat too! Get better!

Merocaine or Vicks Chloraseptic throat spray.Tyrozettes are also good as they contain a mild anti-biotic and an anasthetic so they will num the throat a bit.
