A very effective home remedy for sore throat is to gargle warm salt water twice a day. However, sore throat that is due to the bacteria Streptococcus needs to be treated by your doctor with antibiotics. Strep throat is caused by a certain kind of Strep bacteria which can cause other health problems if not treated. These include rheumatic fever, infection of the heart valves, inflammation of your kidneys, and scarlet fever.

The best way doctors are recommending is to use luke warm salted water and goggle with it ; But first used luke warm salt water to sniff up your nose to clean it out. Usually it is sinuses drainage which causes sore throats.
Before you go to bed take some thing like tylonal to make you sleep after goggleing and sniffing the water.
