Hi,
Thanks for the query.
If she is having productive cough along with sore throat she needs antibiotics.
If not she can go for antihistamines to decrease the inflammation.

Natural remedies that can help are :
Increasing water, fluids intake.
Steam inhalation.
Warm soups and tea
Tea with honey helps in relieving the sore throat.
Better to take progesterone supplementation with your doctor's advice during journey.
Take care.
