Answer 1

First it depends on how sore your throat is...

Add Honey & Lemon to just boiled water. Drink it every few hours.

Apple cider vinegar in a glass of warm water & gargle with it spit it out then swallow a mouthful and then gargle again and so on until the glass is empty. Do this for up to 3-4 hours and it will be gone.

Then the classic garlic with warm salt water repeatedly maybe the garlic will be different then just the salt in the water as too much salts makes me feel the same way but I don't have a problem with the garlic in it as it takes away from the over salt taste.

Fresh pineapple and grapefruits have been known to cure it or the juices from the fruit.

Horehound tea is not the most popular but is very effective although the taste is something.

I hate olives so I have not tried this one. However they say if you take the the pit out and suck on the meat of an olive until you finally chew it then swallow it and do this as though it was a cough drop it is helpful.
