Yes, it can keep your body busy on curing the sore throat instead of having to be doing other activities that use up energy and nutrients at the same time.

Medicine (prescription if your doctor thinks you need it which is sometimes based on whether your sore throat is due to a virus or bacteria), over the counter symptom relief medicines, along with rest/sleep and plenty of liquids does help.

One of the other things that will help is warm and mildly salted water gargles a few times a day. Most people think it is one of the best things for sore throat symptom relief. If you have never gargled before, ask an experienced adult to tell you how and to demonstrate.

Always read and follow the package directions on over the counter medicines and/or ask your pharmacist for information on the best product for your particular symptoms and how to use it. You will generally find pharmacists the most knowledgeable about these products among health care professionals, generous with information you can understand, and helpful. You may have to wait for a time that they can talk to you, but it is usually worth the wait. Go to the counter and ask to speak to one. Avoid times just before work in the morning (after 10 am is best), Avoid times around lunchtime between 11:30 am when people run out to pick up a prescription, and avoid the evening rush hour times for the shortest wait to talk to one. If you don't find the pharmacist very helpful, they may just be very busy or they may not be good with people and then you should go to a different drugstore.
