Ginger can help with inflammation and sore throat. Try ginger water( which is literally hot or boiled water with 3-4 kinda thin slices added to it. I add a spoonful of honey so it tastes better.) it does soothe the throat from most of the pain. I know because I've made that before.

Don't overdose
Although ginger maybe very good for your health, don't eat it too much. Most say keep your consumption under 4 grams a day. Side effects of eating too much ginger or having to much ginger water could be upset stomach, or diarrhea, things that ginger usually helps with.
