Brief Answer:
As explained below.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Sore throat can be due to common cold or infection. I would like to know if you have any complaints of fever? Cold? Cough?

If no, it can be treated with Tab. Azithromycin 500 mg once daily for 3 days after food and Tab. Sinarest twice daily for 3 days for pain.

Salt water gargling and steam inhalation twice a day helps. Drinking warm lemon juice with a teaspoon of honey also helps soothe your throat.

I hope this helps. Please feel free to discuss further if any.
Regards,
