    It would be great if they were doable in the office? With supplies typically found in an office.

      Try some chinese medicine, they are quite useful. If not, sleep early, drink more water and take some panadol.

      taking honey and lemon together can sooth a throat.
      I've also used a throat coat tea before (usually in the organic/natural isle of the food store).  That you could keep in the office.
      There are always lozenges and sucking candy!

      Slippery Elm! You can carry it with you in tablet form, or buy the herb bulk and make it into a tea. It coats and soothes all the way down. It's also great for heartburn!

      Salt water gargle: 1/4 - 1/2 tsp. of salt in an 8 oz. glass of warm water.

    Instead of putting salt on your hamburger, put it in a glass with some warm water and gargle it.

      the perfect dose of salt in warm water is 1/4 teaspoon salt in one cup of warm water.

    Chop some garlic clove, keep it for 5 minutes and swallow it with 1 glass of water. Do this 3 times a day. You will feel better next day.
    Airborne also helps me in my sore throat.

    Gargle with vinegar. Swirl it around in your mouth, tilt your head back and get as much into the back of your throat as possible and gargle it.  This will take care of any germs you may have. Be careful not to breathe it in or choke on it.

    rainbo67 take 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 4 gloves of raw garlic. mashing the garlic up as fine as possible and mixing everything together should bring relief.

    Slippery Elm. It's all natural and it comes in lozenges or you can eat a pinch of powder. You can also drink slippery elm tea, with just a tad of honey. It tastes just like a maple candy.

    I agree with the idea of gargling salt water. Additionally, whenever I feel the very beginnings of a sore throat (just that first tickle in my throat) I take a couple of vitamin C supplements that day and in the days following. It helps a lot to ward it off.

    Gargling with warm water, taking halls, enough vitamins, vicks vaporub to rub against your throat/neck area, vit C, breathing exercises, staying away from people who have cough/cold :-), using handsanitizer to get rid of germs, taking nutritious food/fruit, enough water etc. may help..

    a teaspoon of Manuka honey (it is a type of honey reported to have advanced medicinal properties) with some lemon juice mixed in, three to four times a day will help soothe the throat.

    additionally, it sounds yucky but adding half a teaspoon of butter to a cup of coffee also works wonders!

    Eucalyptus cough drops have always worked for me.

    Boil up a piece of fresh ginger, drink warm, not cold and drink it all the way.
    Or you may chop little pieces of ginger and chew its natural flavour. You will feel good after.

    I like to use warm tea, not something very hot. You may be able to get some soothing cough drops.
