A vanilla milkshake. The liquid soothes your throat and the cold of the ice cream helps to numb the irritated lining in your throat.

I was given a few quick remedies such as Gargling with salt water or mincing a couple cloves of garlic a bout a half a honey bear and a tablespoon of cayenne pepper. another is to take a honey vinegar mixture. Drink lemon juice. I found an ebook that says to make a currant tea by pouring boiling water over a tablespoon of currant jam or jelly. it also said to meal an apple and eat by the tablespoon hold it there in your throat as long as you can. there is a tea out called throat coat. Try that. I found the garlic cayenne & Honey to be the best for me. Tasted like crap, but my sore throat is gone! Just be sure you run a lot of fruit juices in you especially ones packe with vitamin C. Good Luck!
Edit: The Garlic Honey & cayenne is a recipe for several doses Refrigerate take 1 tablespoon every hour. If it doesn't ease up in a day or 2 see your doctor again.

Try mixing 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar with 1/4 cup honey and take 1 tablespoon 6 times a day...the vinegar kills off the bacteria and the sore throat goes away...It's great to keep away colds too if you take a tablespoon daily as a preventative measure....Another method for sore throat pain is to gargle with warm salt water...and finally, there is an herbal tea called "throat coat" and it contains slippery elm bark which coats the throat and sort of numbs the pain...Hope this helps you!

When my throat is sore, the thing that makes it feel better is drinking ginger ale, or clear pop and a little fruit juice.

GARGLE (don't drink) warm salt water.
Just fill a glass with warm water from the tap, dump some table salt in it, take some in your mouth, tilt your head back and do that "aghghhh" sound in the back your throat, spit it out, repeat a few times. Its the best.

gargling with raw unpasteurized apple cider vinegar will cure the sore throat, amazingly ....
drinking 1-2 tbspns in a glass of water twice daily will help boost your immune system and break up mucus..
