Time : There are sprays ( Chloraseptic) that numb the surface, but those are dangerous to the swallowing mechanism and can cause some serious side effects (don’t try this at home!) . Time and a soft diet are your best bet in this regard

Honey: Mix 2 couple tablespoons of honey in warm water and sip. Buckwheat honey is a good choice. It helps with inflammation.
