it won't hurt but won't help either. usually something warm works better like tea, or hot cocoa. gargle with warm water and salt. and use throat lozengers. A soar throat is just a bummer to fix

I have a pretty bad sore throat right now myself, and I tried Sprite the other day... it was painful. Try some hot herbal tea with honey mixed into it. This is the only thing I find soothing.

It is ok to drink anything that soothes your throat. But go slow on sugary drinks. They tend to dehydrate although it may seem ok when you drink it. Take in soups or broths or even warm milk. Gargling with warm salty water or mouthwash can reduce the pain and inconvenience. You can find some good home remedies at http://ailments.in/sorethroat.html

If the carbonation bothers you're throat, let the Sprite get flat. Anything to keep you hydraed!

If you have a very bad sore throat, I wouldn't think so. I would recommend drinking cold water.

HECK NO. Sprite has acid which burns away the sensitive skin in your throat and is likely to make it worse.

No way. Drink hot liquids. If you want the pain to go away, add cayenne pepper to hot tea. Worked for me. I got the advice from the website below and tried it. It worked so great.
