Accepted Answer

There : There are a few things you can do to treat a sore throat caused by an upper respiratory virus.  It sounds like you've tried a few of them, but here's my complete list: 
- voice rest
- drink plenty of fluids and stay hydrated 
- hot tea with honey and lemon 
- or just a spoon-full of honey - honey has been shown to be as effective a cough suppressant as many over the counter medications 
- inhale steam from a shower or cool mist from a vaporizer 
- Acetaminophen and/or Ibuprofen can help with inflammation and throat pain

a sore throat from a cold virus should improve after a few days. If it does not, of if you get worse or have any difficulty breathing, call your doctor.
