In order of importance
1) Gargle Hydrogen peroxide
2) Drink warm/hot green tea copiously
3) Do things which restore your immune system
(don't eat sugar, eat fruits veggies and vitamin C, get more sleep).
Normally 1 suffices, but I have never seen anyone who could not cure it by doing all three.

My kids find relief with the juice from half a lemon squeezed into a mug topped with 6 ounces very hot water and honey to taste. The lemon helps disinfect and numb the sore throuat while the honey coats it to feel comfortable for a while. The best thing is, that there are no side effects and you can drink as much as you want and your entire mouth doesn't feel weird afterwards.

I agree with gargle with salt water. Something grandparents did on the farm when they were children and still works today.
Lemon tea (hot lemonade) does wonders for a sore throat. If you lose your voice, also a good idea.

Honey and brandy mixed together. My Granny used to give it to us all the time for sore throats. She was one of those old world types that didn't need to go to a doctor for everything. She knew all kinds of home remedies.

Get drunk and do shots. Cocain helps. lol Gargle warm salt water. If it is tonsilitis get potato soup or make it... My mom had tonsilitis since 1938... the soup her mom made helped her and she never lost her tonsils. Potato soup. Honey and some type of alchohol is for coughs not a sore throat.
But the alcohol is a pain killer.
