Answers:
Drink warm drinks and soup. This will ease the pain, and give you fluids and some nourishment.
Drink a glass of mint tea with honey. This works great.
Eat cold foods, but avoid anything too sweet. Excess sugar will irritate the throat.
Take a shower. The steam vapors help clear your sinuses, which usually is a cause of a sore throat.
Get a bottle of throat spray, such as Chloraseptic, and spray liberally in the back of your throat. It will numb your throat and kill any bacteria.
Gargle with lukewarm salty water at least 3 to 4 times a day. The salt should be dissolved in the water. Don't go overboard on the salt so as to cause more irritation
