Thank you for your sharing. We all have had sore throat many times in our life because of many reasons like allergies, dry air, and outdoor pollution, as well as illnesses like the common cold, flu, etc. Actually, people often prefer home remedies rather than antibotics to get rid of it. For my own experience, I used honey to cure sore throat. I drank warm lemon water mixed with honey on a daily basis and I feel better immediately. Sore throat disappeared only in few days.
If you have any of the following, let's go to doctor:
Sore throat that lasts longer than 1 week
Difficulty swallowing or breathing
Excessive drooling (young children)
Temperature higher than 100.4 °F
Pus on the back of the throat

Joint pain
Hoarseness lasting longer than 2 weeks
Blood in saliva or phlegm
Dehydration (symptoms include a dry, sticky mouth; sleepiness or tiredness; thirst; decreased urination or fewer wet diapers; few or no tears when crying; muscle weakness; headache; dizziness or lightheadedness)
Recurring sore throats
