Answers:

Hi geechi, you need understand, that sore throat are an acute inflammation of the mucous membrane of the lower pharynx. Tonsils and the soft palate may also be inflamed. Apple juice include acid which may irritates and so sore throat. Yes, the acidity should kill the bacteria on contact, but, for your a sore throat, it's not work.

Try other treatments, you can use Betony is a useful astringent which reduces inflammation. Make a tea and use as a gargle.

Chamomile tea Make a tea adding 1 or 2 teaspoons of dried chamomile blossoms to a pint of boiling water; steep and drink a cup every few hours.

Chlorophyll Use ½ teaspoon to ½ cup of water and gargle three times a day

Water/salt Mix a teaspoon of salt in eight ounces of quite warm water. Gargle the whole mixture several times a day. This will increase the blood supply to the area by washing away mucus and dilating capillaries, thereby enabling better circulation of infection-fighting antibodies.
