How to treat sore muscles?

I did a hard trail for a hike this morning and towards the end of it, I could feel my quads getting so sore going downhill. I took a cold shower when I got home. What should I do to avoid getting sore muscles for the rest of the week besides stretching?

    You need heat...heat is what you need....then rest.  Cold is for when you have swelling.

    apply a hot water bag to the affected area

    take two teaspoons of sugar in a glass of water at bedtime

    sugar turns to glucose for the muscles
