In my experience, many cases of sore throat are caused by bacterial infections which stem from viral infections of the sinuses. If you live in some European countries, you can get a mildly antibiotic throat lozenge containing gramicidin. These lozenges actually kill the bacteria causing the throat infection. THEY WORK, especially if taken at the first sign of a sore throat (when it's just a tickle or a very mild soreness). You allow one lozenge to dissolve slowly in the mouth about every two hours. You're treating the cause, not the symptoms.
Sadly, this medicine isn't available everywhere. In the US, for example, gramicidin is sold, but only as part of topical ointments like Neosporin.

either suck on a peice of raw garlic, or oregano oil- but be sure not to hit your tongue with the drops or it will taste bad haha
Oregano oil works wonders!
Spoon of honey and cayenne pepper, the honey will make the pepper not have really any taste. Also ginger tea- just boil water and put in a cup with honey, lemon and ginger and stir up and drink. Don't go crazy with the ginger cause it has sorta a spicy taste so just put a little in at a time and taste and add more if you like. The ginger will help your through as well and the honey too
Hot squash or juice with honey, gargle salt water but also I find the BEST cure is natural live yoghurt. It has live bacteria in that I swear help clear a sore throat up really quickly. Ideally you want the 'set' yoghurt, the kind that has that watery stuff in. That's what I drink, just a shot of it seems to work wonders.

I haven't gotten a sore throat for around a year now but yes, I used to hate when that happened.
Fastest way to get rid of it.
- Syrup for sore throat
- Motrin or TylenolApparently hot ribena works well but I've never tried it. Also gargling with salt water is basically the go-to remedy. Until then you just have to take cold and flu medication.
Go to the pharmacy and get a bottle of histatusin DM in an orange and pink box and take the recommend dosage you will be fine
Gargle warm salt water in the morning.
And depends on what kind of sore throat either hot water+lemon juice+some salt or boil ginger+honey tea.I read eating marshmallows helped back in the olden days where herbs were used for medicinal purposes, marsh plant helps sore throat
warm up a glass of milk and add a yolk ( only the yellow part of the egg) and mix.. and then drink..
Try mixing about two tbs of vinegar in about a cup of water and gargle with it. If that don't work in a day or two it would be a good idea to see your doctor.
Gargle salt water!! seriously. works great for me. Keep drinking plenty of fluids, even tho it hurts.
A spoon full of honey helps me. It should coat your throat. Also drinking hot tea and milk jelps. You can mix your hot tea or milk with honey as well
If it's viral there's nothing you can do besides take pain pills.
