Technically, vitamin C would probably be better--if your sore throat is a symptom of flu, the common cold, or other viral (and even bacterial) infections. That's as far as I know. I have heard that zinc can be used to help reduce symptoms of the common cold, but frankly vitamin C is a pretty amazing immune system booster.
Anyway, thanks so very much for all of your time!
God bless!

One professor of paediatrics from US had written a book in late 1970's, 'Infectious diseases of paediatrics'. He called ampicillin (and of course amoxicillin) as 'poor choice' to treat the sore throat. The reason was given that at times, you have Epstein Bar virus causes sore throat.
