Of course, the best solution is to eliminate the cause instead of treating the symptoms. Eating half a leaf of fresh sage combined with 1/8 a teaspoon of turmeric spice will greatly reduce the drainage and congestion; about as well as the pharmaceutical medications (and without their side effects). You should make your body alkaline to boost its uptake of oxygen. Drinking homemade lemonade with a pinch of baking soda periodically is a fast, safe, and effective way of doing this. Lemon juice is an acid, but it makes the body more alkaline because of the way it gets processed. The baking soda will add buffering bicarbonates to make the body resistive to becoming acidic again, which is the normal state during sickness. None of these things will provide immediate relief for the throat pain. That requires time.

To to treat the pain (and most effectively kill the bacteria) use a small amount of cayenne pepper with 3% hydrogen peroxide in a gargle. Sea salt is also fine to add. The remedies mentioned in previous answers really are effective, but not as fast. Your body will very rapidly deplete its iodine reserves anytime you are sick, so I recommend adding a quarter-sized patch of 2% iodine on your skin once a day, and more often if it absorbs rapidly. A couple of drops of 3% hydrogen peroxide in each ear periodically is helpful too. Even drinking a tiny amount of it in a drink will give your body a tremendous boost.

If the condition lasts longer than a week, and has blisters, then it is most likely a strep germ. In this case, the condition will merit pharmaceutical antibiotics because strep germs can go into remission and silently attack the heart. There are powerful holistic treatments such as colloidal silver, which I would also recommend in conjunction with the antibiotics. Strep germs are too dangerous to not hit them with everything you can.

Answer

Having had a extreme sore throat recently, and having tried most of the natural and otc remedies, and none of them having any effect on the pain until I tried chewable ginger tablets. I took two to start with and then an additional tablet whenever the pain started to come back. It was the only thing that worked of the various things that I tried. After I controlled the pain with the Ginger, then I used a 3% hydrogen peroxide gargle to help get rid of the problem.
