does anybody know anything about natural healing for a sore throat that's been sore for a number of days?
Yes! Don't do it.
For real. I used a folk remedy (hot toddy) for a sore throat once, and it was effective in that it made the symptoms almost completely disappear (aside from a slight tickle in my throat when I smoked).
Unfortunately, I wasn't actually cured. Went well over a month with what turned out to be strep. Infected all of my friends (one got It so badly that his uvula swelled until it rested on his tongue and couldn't talk without gagging). I didn't even know I was sick until I went in for lower back pain that turned out to be inflamed kidneys. Doc estimated I was less than a week from rheumatic fever, which is what strep turns into when you don't treat it.
So go to the doctor.

top lel, sound advice
Gargle with salt, then gargle with hydrogen peroxide, then drink a glass of some V8 juice.

Mostly the salt gargle.
Also please don't consider this a "natural healing," type thing. It's just a basic smart thing, like washing a wound or draining pus. You're basically spitting out any free floating bacteria or viruses in your mucous so that it's a little less your body has to deal with.

chicken soup. Cook it. If you want pain relief you can take some chicken bouillon with hot water and drink it. Gives pain relief as long as you drink it.

Isn't hydrogen peroxide poisonous?

You don't swallow it. Also, store bought hydrogen peroxide is like a 1% solution.
The straight stuff would melt your face.

...I dunno, tea with honey?
just lie in bed and wait for it to get the fuck better. I'm fairly sure that is the only thing that will do it.

Opium, obviously.
