gargle with salt water, ibuprofen for the pain, Warm tea with lemon and honey, I like to drink ice cold coke. If it doesn't go away in a few days it may be strep and you would need to see a doctor for an antibiotic. Sore throats were invented by the wicked witch of the west and there is nothing worse. Hang on and use all the comfort methods you know and it will get better soon.

1. rinse with warm salt water (1tsp.salt to 4 oz water)
2. Buy Cepacol Sore throat spray or cough drops for instant numbing
3. If not allergic, take some ibuprophen (Motrin)to reduce the inflammation and pain
4. See if you have post nasal drip irritating it--if so, get some nasal spray such as rhinocort or floanse from your doc
5. Run a vaporizor or humidifier where you sleep
6. Take a flashlight and look at your throat. If you see white spots, see a doctor and get an antibiotic.
7. If it lasts more than 10 days, see a doc.
8. If you have allergies, treat them.

It feels like strep throat. Take some soreness killers and drink an incredible type of fluids. in case you do no longer experience lots greater effective in a pair of days, visit the Dr. because of the fact it ought to grow to be an infection that may not go away on that's own.

If there is no fever, gargle every hour with a mild saline solution, like 1/2 teaspoon of salt in 8 to 10 ounces of water.
If there is fever, you'd best see a doc, it could be strep, which if left untreated can be life threatening.

It sounds terrible, but try sucking on a lemon. Then rinse with warm salty water.

you may hgave strep throat, if you have white pockets in your throat, then you need antibiotics to clear it up, if it is simply sinus related then you can use some of those new cloraseptic stips, they work very well

eat some honey and lime juice, that should help you. Also hot tea with some kind of liquor (ex. tequila, whiskey, etc.)
