Antibacterial gargle: Gargle with listerine without alcohol several times per day. Use a saline nose spray. If not better in a few days see your doctor.

Simple solution: Sore throats aren't usually a sign of serious illness. Get lots of rest, drink plenty of fluids, and gargle several times with a glass of warm salt water.
