This very hard to do, but it does cure a sore throat - which is a virus. Suck on Menthal cough drops for at least 2 days - go thru a whole bag. If you can stomach this, the sore throat will go away.

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

The traditional way is warm water salt gargle. I have also taken a shot of whiskey and followed it with a tbsp of brown sugar. Also you could try hot water with lemon and honey and an aspirin all dissolved in it. These all work for me. Get well soon.

1/2 cup hot water, 1/2 lemon squeezed in it, and 3 Tbs. honey. Drink it as hot as you can stand it.
Do this every 3-4 hours, it not on;y works but it tastes good.
