Gargle with salt in warm water. Drink a warm cup of tea with honey and lemon. Both these methods work for me.

I have given this advice to dozens of people.... they agree it works. I always joke, "This is an old Czech remedy I got from an old Czech guy".
Get a carton of orange juice (something good tasting, like Tropicana, and get the Grovestand stuff with LOTS OF PULP), and some honey. Boil water, and mix half and half water with OJ. Mix in 3 big tablespoons of honey.
Sip this slowly, hour after hour. The mixture should always be at least warm, if not a bit hot. Keep sipping, hour after hour.
At first, your throat will feel more "raw", but by the next morning you will be amazed at how good it feels.
I have done this for over 40 years. Good remedy.

Sore throat is usually due to a viral infection. Gargling with warm salty water or mouthwash can reduce the pain and inconvenience. More details and home remedies available at http://ailments.in/sorethroat.html

Treat your throat with a safe localized antibiotic like salt water, aspirin(may cause ulcers), willow bark, cloves, or aloe this will get rid of any minor infection. Drink lots of water and get plenty of sleep and vitamin C.
