What are some quick remedies for a sore throat?

I never received a sore throat until now. I don't know anything about it, but I want to know what are some quick ways to either a) ease the pain in any way possible or b) cure it.

if it helps, this sore throat is causing me to have a low use of my voice.

    To ease the pain, try cough drops, sit in the bathroom with the shower running on hot to breathe in the steam, or gargle warm salt water.

    Cough drops. And if it continues, you really need to go to the doctor. You may have strep throat, and that is contagious. If not treated right and quickly enough, the strep throat virus can turn into a flesh-eating bacteria that can cause you to lose your limbs, eat you from the inside out, and/or cause you to die.

    gargle with saltwater, drink herbal tea with lemon, you can even take a spoonful of honey and that will soothe your throat for a while.
