Hello,
Sore throat usually do not last longer than a week if you drink warm water. I suggest you to have only warm water for a week continuously and also have saline water gargles many times a day. No other herbal remedy is required. I also suggest consulting a ENT for physical examination, diagnosis and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
