    I always use Tylenol sore throat...it's a liquid and you can get it at any local drug store. It always works for me as soon as I swallow it. Hope your throat is better soon

    Ginger Tea or An old home remedy for sore throats. Add 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, a pinch of cayenne pepper, juice of 1/4 a lemon, and 1 teaspoon of honey to a cup. Add 1 cup of hot water and stir. Drink up to 4 cups a day.

    When were were kids and had a sore throat, my grandma would make Jello. She made it according to the package directions, but as soon as it cooled enough to drink, she poured it into mugs and we drank it. It was very soothing to a sore throat. I still use that home remedy, it really works.

    Gargle with salt water. There is no quick fix. If you have pus on the back of your throat it could be strep. If you have drainage from your sinuses you could take a decongestant

    try hot tea with abit of honey in it...that always helps me for a sore throat, but you should really get it checked and make sure it's nothing serious...good luck and i hope you feel better...

    (btw, add lemon to the hot tea, that should help as well!)))

    drink a couple of beers. your throat will feel better for a bit, but probably twice as bad in an hour, so i guess you'll need to get drunk today
