Chamomile tea with honey. Drink it whilst it's mildly hot. The honey will coat your rough thoat to soothe it. Not many people know this, but the reason you would enter lemon into the tea is to reduce your body temp. Lemons have the inate ability to do this. Why do you think we drink so much lemonade in the summer, but rarely any other time of year. The Camomile flowers and leaves have a healing quality in them. You can use the warm tea bags on your eye lids to calm tension too!

Mix two parts honey with one part apple cider vinegar in a small jar. Stir well and gargle with a teaspoonful every hour and then swallow it. The honey is a natural antibiotic and apple cider vinegar makes a hostile environment for germs in the throat. Also sip lots of hot tea or hot broth to keep your throat moist and your bronchial tubes from getting infected. REST! LIQUIDS! Feel better soon!!

Ibuprofen or aspirin. I like to drink lots of ice cold Coke for a sore throat. Nothing is more evil!!! My dad gargles with a dissolved aspirin in warm water. My step dad puts a few drops of white Kerosene on sugar and eats it. Old Amish cure. I wouldn't recommend it. Rub your neck and chest with Vick's as the vapors are soothing to the throat. Hopefully in a couple of days it will be gone if not see a doctor you may need antibiotics.

The only thing I know is what you mentioned already, hot tea and honey...I also put Vick's on my childs throat (on the outside) and wrap up the neck with a small towel that helps too.
Just make regular tea and add honey to it.

Everyone had great ideas! Also include, not talking for at least 24hours!
If salt water doesn't help and it's still there after 24 hours, I would go to a dr. to get checked for strep. I've only twice had a sore throat *that* bad and both times it was strep!

i know it sounds really disgusting, but try peeling one garlic clove and chew on it-it is antibacterial and it will help you feel a lot better-my mom has had bouts of laryngitis treated this way-it speeds up the healing process-you can try the pills but i think the best and effective way to get all that antibacterial stuff to work is from the real deal itself! feel better! and you can also drink some warm-hot chamomile tea-with honey for taste-chamomile is also nature's anti-inflammatory...

I usually go for the hot teas and broth based soups. Actually, all the warm beverages seem to soothe a bit.
My Dr. husband says to keep the throat moistened as much as you can.

Use a tea bag, hot water, then put a teaspoon of honey in it, drink more than one cup. This should help.
