Answers:
First off, drink plenty of water. Then gargle with salt water. Sucking on cough drops or hard candy can help. I believe the dissolved sugar scrapes the residue irritating your throat.

Sore throats are usually caused by mucous draining from your nose down your throat or by your immune system attempting to attack viruses (or mabye bacteria) in your throat.

If you have a runny nose, it's probably the culprit. Antihistamines can help that, but make you drowsy. There are some other over-the-counter medications that are non-drowsy, you can take a look. As a disclaimer, I say that you should know your allergies before self medicating. also, water and cough drops.

If it's just your throat, then it's also possible that you have a bronchial infection or tonsillitis or something like that. Hopefully, it's something your immune system can handle and you just need lots of water, sleep, and nutrition. If it is more serious, like the above mentioned conditions, you might want to see a doctor for antibiotics or other treatment.Health Question & Answer

Salt,vinegar and gargle it
Thyme infusions to gargle as well.
In the vast majority of cases, a sore throat cased by a virus infection need only be treated with paracetamol (eg Calpol, Panadol) to bring the temperature down.

In a small minority of patients, a sore throat caused by bacteria is treated with penicillin, or erythromycin (eg Erythroped) in cases of penicillin allergy.

The symptoms of a sore throat can be relieved by using over-the-counter medicines, such as sprays containing antiseptics and anaesthetics to numb the sore area, or antiseptic gargles. These can be bought without a prescription and your doctor or pharmacist will be able to advise you about them.

Hope you get better soon . :)Health Question & Answer

Most sore throats are the results of a viral infection. Antibiotics do not respond to virus's. Just push fluid intake, take paracetamol. Do not gargle with Aspirin or salt water, the latter is dangerous and Aspirin will irritate the lining of your already inflamed throat.
