I am not medically qualified but have just had a very soar throat.  After trying all the old remedies saline gargle/ throat lozenges etc etc I found a different solution which worked for me.  

Most large supermarkets Tesco, Waitrose etc sell herb teas, buy a box of liquorice  herb tea bags.   I made a large pot of liquorice herb tea using one tea bag.  I then allowed it to cool for an hour or so.  I found that sipping and or gargling with this tea (no sugar or milk) really calmed down the soar throat.  I didn't replace my normal drinks but merely used the liquorice tea as something to sip, even in the night.  There is some evidence for liquorice's efficacy in this case see  this page on Wikipedia:  en.wikipedia.org
