Katejo,
My son suffers from horrendous sore throats. We were desperate to get some relief for him so I asked the pharmacist if he could recommend something. He gave us some throat spray called Difflam, you can also buy the liquid to gargle with.
It works instantly. Not only does it deaden the soreness, it helps fight the infection too so it shortens the time for healing. You have to ask for it in the chemist, it's not stocked on the shelf.
It's not cheap but if it works it's well worth it. We think it's brilliant stuff
