I've drank two cups of Bourbon-Tea-Honey drink (first with a dissolved cough drop in it, 2nd with a dissolved eucanacea pill in it), popped another ibuprofen, took a vitamin C pill, and the thing still friggin kills.
I've even tried gargling the tea drink.

WTF

Orange juice causes the sore throat to get worse because of the acid and citris ... drink some Chrysanthium tea with honey in it ... it clears it right up

I usually gargle some water with salt in it. Relieves the pain for a good while. Also you can't go wrong with chloraseptic spray.
