      Sore throats are caused due to a number of reasons. This could be an outcome of a simple cold or a symptom of something deeper as tonsillitis, flu, bacterial infection etc. It is recommended that if a sore throat persists beyond seven days you should immediately contact your doctor.

      Sore throats are caused by something known as post nasal drip. This involves basically a lot of snort flowing down ones throat. There is a lot of medication that a doctor can prescribe for sore throats but natural alternatives include gargling with hot water and salt, having honey and ginger with hot water, drinking a lot of fluids, basil leaves in warm water, chamomile tea, grapefruit seed extract, hyssop seem effective as well. Sore throats are also0 treated with natural or herbal tonics and throat paints.

          An old home remedy that works well is 1/2 honey and 1/2 vinegar mixed together.
          Take a tablespoon once every hour.
          The vinegar eats up the bacteria which causes the sore throat and the honey helps to swallow the vinegar easier.

          You could always try to gargle with salt water.  Just put a tsp of salt into a cup of warm water and gargle with it. Do that a couple times a day for a few days and you should start to feel better

          Gargle with salt water 3 times a day. Do not drink the salt water as salt can be poisonous if ingested in great amounts. Or you can make a home made remedy serum from rum, honey,  lemon juice and castor oil. 1 litter  divide ingredients in equal amounts to fill container. Shake well and take 3 times a day. Or just go to your nearest clinic for treatment you just never know if you may ned more than just a home made remedy . You may need antibiotics
