If it is just a sore throat and not strep or something you can help it feel better by doing a few things. Gargle in warm salt water, yes, it needs to be done. This draws out the infection. At least twice a day, more is better. Then drink lots of liquids, hot is better, maybe tea with lemon and honey or any of the two is good. Then maybe a little hot water with tw tsp.s of jello mixed in, nice and sweet and hot. Then make sure to get vit. C from PJ or the chewable ones with food. Then chicken soup, broth even and canned is very good too. They call it the Jewish mom's penicillin because it has a chemical in it that actually helps heal colds and sore throats. Also, buy zinc lozenges for just this occasion. Zinc is healing and we are usually low in the mineral, especially men. Then rest, no talking and no in and out of the house, get sleep, keep warm and avoid other people. Viruses are contagious and without an antibiotic they are more so. With anti. they are catchy for the first 72 hrs. then OK. So, I Hope you follow the advice and don't waste my time. I hope you feel better. Love coming your way.

I gurantee this will soothe your sore throat.
Heat up water as if for tea. Disolve 2 and a half tablespoons of honey in the water. Soak a lemon slice in the drink for 5 minutes and then drink it.
Your skin will glow in 1 week, it will soothe an upset stomach, and your sore throat. Good luck.

Gargle with warm salt water. If it doesn't go away in a few days see a doctor. My son had a sore throat that wouldn't go away and he was tired also and it turned out he had mono.

Slippery elm tea or lozangez which you can find at vitamin cottage. celestial seasonings makes a tea called throat coat and that is at any grocey store.For being lactose intolerant try a dairy digestive aid. I'm lactose intolerant and digestive aids work wonderfully

you may have mono. for a sore throat: mix honey and lemon together and drink or gargle with warm water and salt several times a day. germs can't grow in a clean throat.

Did you try to go see a doctor? I hate soar throats too. I'm sure you have already tried Halls or Cholorseptic Spray (spell?!). I would go to the doctor, you might have strep!
