Vitamin C, Echanacia and/or Ginsing (Cold-FX) can help if you think you are getting a cold.

Sucking on an orange flavored chewable vitamin C usually takes away my sore throat... they usually don't last longer than 48 hours anyway before the nose part kicks in...

Gargle with warm salt water.
With a flash light and a mirror, look in the back of your throat. If you see puss pockets, then it's time to see a doctor. Otherwise continue to gargle with warm salt water 3x a day. There are sugar free cough drops and syrups on the market.
Hot tea and lemon will help sooth the throat as well.
