Good evening ma'am,
In a situation like this, the best thing to do is to first try to reduce the amount of mucus flowing from your nose into your throat (this is one of the most common causes of sore throats this time of year). This is done by using a product like Sinus Rinse™ twice a day for at least 5 days.
Next, I recommend using a cough syrup or just honey to soothe the throat. Using honey lozenges can also help.
Finally, I recommend that you rest, drink plenty of water, and avoid eating irritating foods (spicy, salty, etc.).
If the sore throat is still present in 2 weeks, or if you develop a fever by then, I encourage you to see a doctor.
