Gargle with Listerine or salt and water about every 3-4 hours and if your throat has some swelling take some Motrin it can help alleviate the pain that comes from the swelling just break it in two to make it easier to swallow, you can also eat some ice cubes or ice cream to help with that. They also sell some throat sprays that contain some analgesics( just means it numbs your throat) or cough drops might help.

You can try gargling with salt or mouth wash. You can even try it with asprin. Take some cold type medicine on going to bed. Every person has a medacine that works best for them, mine is asprin. It may not stop it completely, but it will make it a lot less harmful.

depends on what has caused the sore throat
Do you have a fever, chills, swollen glands, sinus drainage?
drink Warm Water mixed with Honey & Lemon Juice... gargle with Salt Water... suck on Zinc Lozenges... depending on the situation maybe Colloidal Silver

take a shot of whiskey like a teaspoon of lemon juice and honey heat it up together and drink it and it will help a lot. If you dont have the whiskey then just use lemon juice and honey. Im really not sure what the whiskey does all i know is that thats what my mom always gave me when i was a kid and i still use it. it works great. Hope it helps and I hope you feel better!

Drinking plenty of hot tea with lemon and honey will ease your throat.. especialy if it feels itchy/scratchy as well..
