Gargle with warm salt water
Drink hot tea and chicken soup.

Don't drink warm/hot liquids/soups. This may feel good at the time, but it increases swelling!! Try popsicles - cold reduces swelling and relieves sore throat pain!! Salt water gargle (approx. 1/2 teaspoon in 1/2 glass of water) also soothes the soreness and has the added benefit of also killing viruses. You can gargle multiple times in the day. Bacterial causes of a sore throat may need antibiotic treatment. High fever with a sore throat usually indicates bacterial infection. Low grade fever may indicate viral infection. Tylenol or ibuprofen can assist with lessening the discomfort. If sore throat worsens, or persists more than 3-5 days, you may benefit from consulting your physician.

Warm salt water or baking soda and water is good to gargle with, it helps to neutralize the acid in the throat. Ginger tea helps to bring white blood cells to throat to help fight infection. Lemon or lime juice and water helps to fight infections, and drink plenty of water whatever you do to help your immune system cleanse itself.

It contains grapefruit seed extract, which kills bacteria. I gargle with GSE (grapefruit seed extract) in water. It tastes awful but on using it yesterday, today my throat is much better, almost not sore anymore already.

Not really. Alternative medicine is risky at best.
