Lemon and Honey is excellent.
You can also try Glycerin or Gelatine.
Starburst or soft fruit sweets are a nice way of taking it.
This doesnt cure it, just eases it.
If your sore throat continues for too long, its a good idea to go to the GP/medic and get it checked out.

A cup of hot water (you can make an Herbal tea in it if you like) with 1 Tbsp. lemon Juice, 1 Tbsp. honey, 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper, and 1/2 tsp ground fresh ginger root, or 1 tsp. ground ginger. Make sure it is really hot at first, and stir often, as the cayenne doesn't dissolve very well.
Good Luck!

Sore throat is usually due to a viral infection. 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

It depends on why its sore, but if it is because of a mild cold get some warm salt water and gargle with it. I know it tastes nasty but it loosens any mucas up that is in thier and promotes healing. If that does not help get a throat spray and just numb it up.

If you tried all the possible herbal meds and still no effect, antibiotics 4 times a day for seven days. My guess its not just sore throat, Its tonsillitis.

A lot of liquids. WATER WATER WATER, also try zinc drops. My brother is a music major/teacher and he swears by them. HOT TEA to sooth the pain also helps!!
Good luck

vinegar and honey, they both kill the bacteria and the honey also makes it taste better.
