Whats the quickest way to get rid of a sore throat?

Salt water gargles: From my experience, warm salt water gargles, nsaids (like motrin), and treat the underlying cause.

Ginger/ honey: Some options include: saltwater gargles: mix 1 tsp salt in 8 oz warm water – gargle several times a day. Or gargle with aloe vera juice twice a day. Add honey & a small amt. Of lemon juice to chamomile tea. Pour boiling water over thinly sliced ginger. Steep 5 min. In a covered pot. Add 2 to 3 tbs honey & sip. Try thyme tea.
