How long is a peice of string ? No one knows how long a particular cold or sore throat lasts. So many different factors. Drink hot lemon and honey and wait

It will depend on what causes the sore throat. For instance some sore throats are caused not by bacteria or virus, but by reflux. Those ones don't go away until the reflux does. could it be that yours is caused by reflux?
