drink elderberry tea. it will coat your throat. You can also gargle with equal parts water and apple cider vinegar. That will dissolve any mucous in the back of your throat that is probably causing the irritation. Sucking on zinc lozenges help too. Zinc helps boost your immune and kills off the bad bugs on your tonsils. Hope this helps!!

Drink lots of warm water throughout the day and avoid all cold liquids until healed.
Gargle at least 3 times per day with 1 tsp salt dissolved in warm water.
To alleviate the soreness, eat cloves throughout the day to numb your throat.
My girlfriend and mother would also say to drink tea prepared with some ginger and cloves and sweetened with honey.

All these suggestions will help alleviate the symptoms and pain from a sore throat. But my experience is that they work only temporarily. The sore throat has to run its course and fortunately, it will go away eventually by itself.

either put a humidifier on, or put a pot of simmering water on your stove.
Take some motrin & gargle with warm salt water.
Also, regular NON-herbal tea helps soothe a sore throat.

Zinc lozenges.
You can buy them at the drug store.
They not only soothe the throat but also help it heal.
