You need not drink the solution, simply gargle and spit.

Mouthwash is also good to use.
If you are unable to think about pouring salt water in your mouth, you can gargle with mouthwash.
Its disinfecting and healing qualities are almost same as that of salt, and you just might like the taste to be a little better.
It should be enough for you to do it once when you wake up and once before you go to bed.
Just be sure that you are the only one drinking from your bottle.
You can try drinking something warm.
Slowly sipping something hot to drink is a remedy for healing an aching throat that has been used for many, many years.
Try digesting something, like coffee, tea, hot chocolate or even some Neocitrin (a lemon beverage to help heal colds).
You will be surprised at how sipping a warm drink will temporarily ease your throat.
The heat from the drink coats the areas of your throat that is inflamed.
A hot drink serves the same purpose of soothing your throat since you can't add a hot pack to your throat.
Take some medication.
There are many medicines that presumably cure sore throats.
Strengths and effectiveness will vary.
A medicated lozenge may be the best choice for you, something stronger, such as a a throat spray like Chloraseptic.

Have something that is sweet.

You may find that a simple spoonful of honey can help.
Take a spoonful of honey in exactly the same way that you would take liquid cough medicine.
It not only has a great taste, but it also soothes your sore throat by coating it.
Sucking on a candy like butterscotch can help too.
This will help moisten your throat which will provide some relief from your inflamed throat.
Give your face a steaming treatment.
Steam is also beneficial if you have a sore throat.

Inhale the steam through your nose and down into your throat and you can notice immediate soothing relief for the sore throat you have.
