What can I do about this sore throat?

I know of 2 things good for sore throats. (1) put a good amount of salt in hot water, gargle it and spit out, continue gargling and spitting until you use the whole gl of hot water, then rinse your mouth w hot water. This can be continued as many times as you want. (2) take honey and lemon, warm it up and drink it slowly allowing the honey and lemon to coat the throat. You can, also, use these 2 methods together using salt and water, then honey and lemon.
