I've had really good luck with slippery elm for sore throats; it's a natural mucilage that has a great soothing effect. I usually use 'Throat Coat' tea from Traditional Medicinals; it's sweetened with licorice root and has some other things in it that make it taste very nice and soothing as well. But if you don't like licorice root at all, you can make an infusion of just slippery elm and sweeten it with your favorite sweetener.

Oh yes, and marshmallow (the herb, not the candy) is another good natural mucilage.
