Lots of fluid. Avoid acidic foods or other things that can irritate your throat (orange juice, tomatoes, salty foods). Drink hot tea with lots of honey in it. Honey has a natural antibiotic in it that really helps sore throats, so if you can you could always eat a teaspoon of that too. Foods high in vitamin C help to.

Gargle with mint mouthwash or salt water. Brush your tongue. Sometimes, removing the buildup on your tongue can lessen the soreness in your throat. Rinse your toothbrush in mouthwash between brushings to kill bacteria. Drink ice-cold beverages. Try filling a glass half-full of crushed ice; then pour fruit juice over the ice. Let it sit for 10 minutes, insert a straw and suck slowly, letting the juice rest a minute on the back of your throat. Add moisture to your environment with a humidifier or vaporizer, or sit in a steamy shower or bath. Eat soft or liquid foods, especially sherbets and chicken broth.
Hope you get well. :)

Lozanges ( cough drops)
hot tea with lemon and honey, Lemon and honey are very good natural remedies for sore throat. Drink as much of it as you can, it will really help.
Gargling with some warm salt water is good too.

for temporary pain relief you could gargle some very warm water with salt in it. Check the back of your throat, if you see white bumps or dots on it, it is possible you have strep throat and you should consult a doctor. also try a warm mist vaporizer in your room at night and take steamy showers.

Well, I have a remedy for my girlfriend when she gets a sore throat and it generally works for her. It may for you too.
Hot steamy showers always seem to make my throat feel better when it hurts.
