Drinking a lot of fluids can help a lot ,if you buy a packet of sweets with menthol contained in them and suck one each 2 hours that does a great deal .Finally try and soothe it ,ice cream ,cold drinks or maybe popping an ice cube in your drink, there is no way you can make a sore throat go instantly ,or within a few hours and if your sore throat persists constantly or gets to a point where its hard to swallow being quite painful just go to your gp, to see if you need to take some antibiotics.

∙ 14y agoThese are remedies that are really simple and can be done at home:
- Gargle a mix of 1 teaspoon of sea salt (table salt usually irritates the throat) and 1/2 cup warm water (not cold or hot).
- Drink something with honey and lemon in it. (Like, honey in tea with some lemon juice added, a mix of honey, water and lemon juice, lemonade with honey added instead of sugar, or anything you can dream up... please, no alcohol, though).
- Take some Tylenol. It may be damaging for your liver if too much is taken, so only take it once every four to six hours. Or, you may take ibuprofen, but be sure to take it only on a full stomach, or else you may get a stomach ache or feel nauseous.
- Boil one teaspoon of coarsely ground cinnamon boiled in one cup of water with a pinch of pepper powder, let cool, and drink. Or, mix 2-3 drops of cinnamon oil in one teaspoon of honey, and drink up.
- Eat fruit and drink fruit juice.
- Eat onion soup and chicken noodle soup.
- Mix a pinch of cardamom with a pinch of cinnamon in about 1/4 cup water and gargle for a minute.
- Keep hydrated.
- Avoid food that is fried or could irritate the throat.
- Cough drops can be taken to temporarily make your throat feel better.
