Sore Throat Remedy - Guaranteed Success is to gargle with salt water. The stronger the salt dose the better and gargle for at least 5 minutes every couple of hours.
I get tonsilitis on average 14 times a year. I try not to take antibiotics every time (esp when all I have really is a sore throat and I cant face the idea of having them taked out), I eat dry toast, very satisfying scratchy pain and drink lots and lots of honey and lemon,. I also find gargling disolvable aspirin gives loads of relief.
