It depends what the source of the sore throat is. If you yelled a lot at a sports event, for example, you will have a sore throat .
It could be post sinus drip, that will do it. I f you have your tonsils, it could be a sign they are warding off something. Gargle with warm salt water; keep your throat moist, hard candies and such.
Ask your pharmacist for advice. If it persists more that several days , or is accompanied by a fever, you need to see a Doc. Stay well.

traditional Javanese remedy: sweet soy sauce (the thick variant) with a lot of lime or lemon. Do a tablespoon full of the solution and swallow it whole. Works all the time.
Also, before bed, gargle an ounce of Sprite (7Up, lemonade, or soda water) with s tablespoon full of salt and swallow it. I know it's nasty, but it kills the germs that make your throat sore. You will find great improvement in the morning.

It tastes awful, but gargle with vinegar! The vinegar kills the bacteria causing the soreness, and usually within a few hours your throat should feel better. It works for me! Yeah, you might gag at first, but it's worth it.

Is your sore throat due to a cold or flu?Try some Soothers or Vicks Vapor Drops, it helps for me. You can buy them at the local chemist.

Go to the doctors and get some antibiotics (only if it is strep though).. other wise you'll probably just have to wait it out if it is a virus or something because those go away by them selves.
