Al is right about vitamin C, but take that as a pill! The acidity of drinking the orange juice will only irritate it. Burns.

Warm salt water gargles will help kill off some of the bacteria. Honey is also a natural antiseptic. If you want your throat to feel better some good old fashioned black tea with honey will help soothe it. Tanic acid in tea acts a bit of a pain reliever. Good for the soreness.
