Ice Cream to numb!! Or something warm like tea to soothe. Hurts like hell,

but a shot or 50% or better alcohol,

It will burn something awful. Hot tea with honey. Try honey with warm water i find warm milk with 1tsp of honey and a little lemon juice. Doesnt taste too nice but it works for me if its pretty serious you should go to the doctor! If not just try....drinking tea. Or something warm.(warm coke) tadditional honey and lemon juice with cooled bolied water.

Tastes delicious and is a natural anesthetic for the throat. Gargle with hot salty water.... tastes pretty crappy, but makes you feel better. Then get some bedrest and wake up a new person! There are sweets like lockets and cough syrup removal of children can be helpful as you don`t want to shout I usually gargel with 3% hydrogen peroxide...make sure not to swallow. It works for me! Hot tea with honey and a lemon. Try Dequacaine (original) lozenges. They're a bit nasty but will ease it off a bit.

You can also give echinacea a try (herbal remedy). It is very effective in the early twinge stage. You may find it stops it in it's tracks like magic. Try it anyway, you never know. Just read the label. I think anyone can take it without problems though.

Sore throats are caused by loads of different things though but I've only ever had sucess with the above. gargle with warm salty water or even warm water with tea tree oil.

throat spray ie ultra chloraseptic, decacanine spray. or take paracetamol Gargling with salt water or Sterisol mouthwash.
