Anything with clove essential oil will help quell the pain. I would suggest hot orange juice with crushed whole cloves brewed in. Ginger is also good and can be added, but clove will act more quickly because of the eugenol content.

Bring 4 cups orange juice to a boil. Add 1 Tbsp whole cloves (crush them just before adding to the boiling juice). If you only have powdered cloves, use 1-2 tsp. Simmer for 2 minutes, lower heat to lowest setting, and allow to steep for 5 minutes.

Strain each portion (about 8 ounces per portion, 4 servings) into your mug. Sip. Add honey if you need to sweeten the mixture.

Hope you feel better.

This is one remedy I've never heard of, but I'm going to try it the next time I have a sore throat. I use clove oil to relieve the pain and swelling when my gingivitis flares up, and it works quickly, so this sounds like a remedy that would be quite effective! Sounds yummy, too. Thanks for sharing it with us.

If you have access to pure essential clove oil and are currently experiencing a sore throat, you can dilute a drop of clove oil into the 4 cups (quart) of OJ, heat and serve, skipping the crushing, boiling, and steeping steps. Most people do not maintain a stock of essential oils, so crushing whole cloves, boiling in the acidic OJ and steeping was as close as I could get them to safe oil extraction at effective levels. But, yes - the mixture is similar to a concoction called "Russian Tea", which also included cinnamon, tea, and lemonade in addition to the OJ and cloves.

For sore throat , I usually drink mild tea with ginger (fresh not powder).Cut an inch very thinly sliced ginger root and put it on the hot tea water ( a mug).Let it stand for a 5 minutes, put little sugar or honey if desired.

Or make a soup, boil thin slices of ginger root, garlic, onion add salt .Then put vermicelli (thin rice noodles), season as desired.Drink it hot.
