I also agree with the ginger. Here is what I do when I have a sore throat. Take some straight hydrogen peroxide and gargle with it. It is NASTY and you will be spitting foam but it will kill the bacteria in your throat. Just do not swallow it under any circumstances.

Get better soon.

Hey at least you are not oinking with piggy flu...
