My son gets throat pain often. What helps him is lots of warm water, gargling with salt water, and sometimes a lozenge to keep the throat moist. We also give him honey and ginger. If it doesn't improve in a day or two, or if there's fever, we take him to the pediatrician right away. Don't let it linger.
