I learned that some people gargle whiskey to get rid of a sore throat but for those of use who are under aged that isn't an option, bur don't fret! For us under aged people we can try marshmallows. Eating four or five marshmallows will help soothe your throat because of the sap from the root that goes in it. If you don't like eating them there is even marshmallow tea that you can try. It's always tastier then the cough drops at least.
