That itchy throat is caused by post-nasal drip. If left unchecked, it almost always develops into a more problematic sore throat. Stop the drip, and you stop the sore throat. My daytime go-to remedy is the 12 hour Sudafed caplet (in the red box), and at night, I will take either the Alka Seltzer night-time cold relief effervescent tablets, or Ny-Quil (Wal-Mart sells the just-as-effective generic of both for quite a bit less). Just a word of caution on the Sudafed 12 hour caplets; do not take past about 2:00 PM in the afternoon if you want to get any sleep that night.
As a teen, I remember getting some God-awful sore throats and colds that lasted at least two weeks. I'm 60 now, and hardly ever get a sore throat for more than a day. I know what to take now, and start taking it as soon as I feel the itchy throat. The key is to not wait. Knock out the drip, and the sore throat disappears. You may, and probably will, still have other cold symptoms, but the medications I listed above will keep them in reasonable check until your immune system rids the cold virus from your body. Oh, and one other thing, Sudafed is one of those pseudoephedrine medications that you must request from behind the pharmacists counter. You won't find it on the store shelf. Hoppe that helps.

Emergan-C twice a day. Some type of hot Asian soup, extra spicy, and Theraflu (the hot kind you drink) before bed.

Really depends if it is allergy-based or caused by a cold.

Spoonful of honey usually does the trick. If this doesn't work, I'll drink some hot tea or do salt water rinse (last resort.). Obviously medicine plays a role as well.

Advil Cold and Sinus for the post nasal drip. I get that shite about once a month.

Amoxicillin

Shot of lemon juice every 30 min for 4 hours and echinacea

Emergen-C and gargling really hot salt water

Warm salt water rinses.
Failing that, clear liquids, stay hydrated, rest.

Zinc helps to boost your immune system.
I felt it coming on Saturday with the cool air coming through. Got pretty hammered Saturday night. Sore throat turned into a stuffy nose yesterday and is now gone. I'd say that's a win.

If you really are worried about it, either hot mint tea with honey or enough red wine/bourdon to forget about it.

I'll gargle with warm saltwater in the morning.
Then, those vitamin C/zinc tablets.

Steroid shot + arsenal of drugs, from the useless homeopathic shite to codeine.

Gargle with 50/50 mouthwash and peroxide for as long as you can stand it. It fricking works.
