First gargle with warm water and salt. Sounds gross, but it really does work.
To keep the soreness to a minimum, keep your throat lubricated, drink water, NOT juice which is acidic and will irritate.
Honey works well. I like to get it a little warm, little. and then put it on a spoon and take small licks from it.
Those things should help. I hope it doesn't become a full blown cold.

This recipe will take all the pain away!
Take water and heat it up as for you would for tea. Let 2 and a half tablespoons of honey disolve in the water. Soak a lemon slice in the drink for 5 minutes, drink it!
You will feel so much better, and it cleanses out your body!

An old time recipe from South-Africa`s farmgirl and nurse... crush two Disprins as fine as you can, pour it gently over a teaspoon with honey on...and eat it. You can also try gargling with lemon juice, if you have problems with your tonsils it will shrink it a bit. Good old plain gargling with salt water will also help. Good luck.

I'm a nurse. I would try some otc medication first. If that doesn't work, then I would go in to the ER. It could be strep. The otc meds could relieve you of your pain in your throat. I hope you feel better soon.

THIS WORKS FOR SOME PEEPLE BUT I USE IT AND IT WORKS AND IT IS HONEY AND LEMON JUCE AND HONEY
P.S. THE WATER HAS TO BE HOT SO THE HONEY CAN DESOLVE.

Gargle with salt water but don't swallow it because it will make you vomit.
