Gargle salt water 3 times a day. Tea with honey in it also soothes and relieves a sore throat as wells as Chloraseptic Spray. Hope you feel better!

The best Home Remedy that I know of and does work is, Gargling with Warm Salt water a few times a day. The Salt is a Healer and it soothes the sore throat.

drink elderberry tea. it will coat your throat. You can also gargle with equal parts water and apple cider vinegar. That will dissolve any mucous in the back of your throat that is probably causing the irritation. Sucking on zinc lozenges help too. Zinc helps boost your immune and kills off the bad bugs on your tonsils. Hope this helps!!

u know the thing that helps the most is boil sum hot water a cup, then get half a yellow lemon, and some honey, mix them all together sit down relax for 20-30 min and sip on it then u should feel "GREAT" and if you can some chicken noodle soup should do the trick!

Weak tea with a little lemon and a little honey is very soothing on a sore throat. Try chamomile as it is also a mild sedative.

Another thing your might try is a teaspoon of baking soda in 6-8 ounces of hot water. Gargle once, then sip the rest as much as you might want.

Probably the best thing for it is not very well known. Aloe Vera juic has begun to become very popular, but not exactly known for healing sore throats, but works excellent for them.

Gargle with some warm salty water works great. Can use it about every 2 hours.
