Sore throats are very touchy. It may be caused from sinus drainage or it could be as bad as strep.
Only a culture can rule out strep. Strep is BAD. Do you have small white pus pockets on your throat? IF you do, see a doctor. You should be running a fever also. Strep can cause Rheumatic Fever which will mess up the heart valves and THAT will last a life time.
Home cure? Gargle with salt water. There is a spray you can get at a store that will deaden your throat temporary.
Good luck. Pops

Warm salt water but also mix in a packet of BC or a crushed aspirin.

Honey and lemon juice, or gargle salt with water they both work

Yes, gargling with warm salted water. I've also heard of gargling with cidar vinegar but I don't think I could do that.

try hot honey and lemon. also gargling with soluble aspirin will help - as long as you are over 16 years of age and not asthmatic.

All of the above is good. I also use lemon and peppermint candy. I cut the lemon in half and stick a peppermint candy in it then lick it. It really helps me.

Mix some salt in water and gargle with it... I also chew up baby aspirin as well.

Honey and lemon juice. But it has to be squeezed directly from the lemon.
