How to get rid of a sore throat?isit uncommon to catch one in summer?

Make sure you are getting plenty of rest. There are cold seasons but that doesn't mean you cannot get a cold in summer. Eat some warm soup and gargle salt water (this will help) and if necessary take cold medicine or cough drops. If you feel really bad talk to your doctor. Don't eat food with lots of sugar and Get extra rest. Hope this helps you get well. :)
