Gargle with warm salt water to help reduce swelling and relieve discomfort:
Gargle at least once each hour with 1 tsp( ) (5 g( )) of salt dissolved in 8 fl oz(237 mL) of warm water.
If you have postnasal drip, gargle often to prevent more throat irritation.
Prevent dehydration. Fluids may help thin secretions and soothe an irritated throat. Hot fluids, such as tea or soup, may help decrease throat irritation.
Use a vaporizer or cool air humidifier in your bedroom.
Warm or cool mist may help you feel more comfortable by soothing the swollen air passages. It may also relieve hoarseness. However, don't let your room become uncomfortably cold or very damp.
Use a shallow pan of water to provide moisture in the air through evaporation if you don't have a humidifier. Place the pan in a safe location where no one will trip on it or fall into it.
Stop smoking and avoid secondhand smoke. For more information, see the topic Quitting Tobacco Use.
If you suspect that problems with stomach acid may be causing your sore throat, see the topic Heartburn.

Well, the very simple way to cure your sore throat is by taking " plain Vanilla Ice cream. " It sound unbelievable. But why don't U give a try. Its proven effective. I always take vanilla ice cream whenever I have sore throat. No gimmick.

get a glass of water, put it in the microwave, and warm it up to the warmest you can handle, and put a tablespoon of salt in it, stir it, and then gargle with it about four times, it will heal your throat in no time .

Gargle with salt and warm water. Believe me it works. Do this every night.
You can also suck on cloves during the day.
Good luck...

depends from what. if it's from allergies, gargle with warm salt water, but if it's from the cold virus or strep, drink warm tea.
