Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat And Hoarseness Of The Voice

I ve had a sore throat for approximately one month. It is a little sore during morning and early afternoon hours, but my mid-afternoon and continuing through the evening, it really gets sore and my voice becomes hoarse. I do not have allergies (or not up to now anyway) and no other major systems associated with allergies. I hate to run to the Dr. for a sore throat , but a month seems excessive. Suggestions?
