My youngest daughter (12) has a sore throat and it's driving her insane! We ran out of sore throat medicine and its pouring here, so there is no way I could get here medicine.

the best thing I have found is to gargle with warm salt water, it really works! Gargle 3 times a day, always works for me.I mix about 1 teaspoon to a 6 oz. cup of water.

Have her gargle with warm salt water. It's kind of gross, but really works. If you have any vitamin C, garlic, or zinc supplements this will help speed up her recovery. Good Luck!!!

try tea sweetened by honey, or just take a teaspoon of honey,
it's very soothing to your throat....ice cream will take the pain away, or a Popsicle...good luck....

gargle salt water, but this might be something serious like strep throat--why don't you see a doctor.

You can try hot tea. That always seems to soothe my throat.
