Since they always teach medicinal and homegrown ideas I have used Cayenne Pepper Powder for a sore throat. You get some hot/warm water and mix the powder in, according to how much of the heat/spice you can take. And sip it. It burns your throat and also the heat soothes and kills any bacteria that is starting. I have been doing this for 10 years and it works every time. It's also good for stuffy noses or sinus problems. Consult with your doctor if you have ulcers or aren't able to have spicy/hot herbs or foods.
