Here are some ways to relieve your sore throat:
1. Use lozenges like strepsils that have antibacterial qualities that can soothe your throat. Some lozenges are also anti-inflammatory, which can numb your throat.
2. Gargle with antibacterial mouthwash, or simply with a warm salt solution.
3. Eat some dark chocolate, which has theobromine, which is 33.33% more effective than leading cough medicines.
4. You can use OTC painkillers to relieve the pain.
5. Drink lots of water.
If symptoms continue to persist, you should consult a doctor.

An echanacia throat spray will work wonders. I use it at the first sign of a sore throat and it never comes on. It will also keep your throat moist. There is a really good throat drop too. Rocola swiss herb. And even sip echanacia tea through out the day. You will feel much better by tomorrow.
Have fun on your date. :o)

to really help the sore throat try gargling with warm water and salt. dissolve the salt in the warm water then gaggle as far as you can go without choking.try this 3-4 times a day, together with throat lozenge/cloroseptic from, any you will be as good as new.

You need to see a doctor. Sure, you have a date, but what if your sore throat is something contagious? Going out could make you feel worse, plus you could give it to your date. Wouldn't you like another date with this person? Be safe and considerate.

Gargle with warm salt water. Drink plenty of fluids. Take a gram of vitamin C. Warm mist such as in a shower or bathtub may help. Hope you feel better.

Gargle with 2-3 drops of Oil of Oregano or Tea Tree Oil in a cup of water. It tastes horrible, but it works!

I think my mom gave me the best advice about this. Provided you don't have strep, you could gargle with warm salt water (enough salt to make the water cloudy). Sometimes I swallow just a little of it to get further down my throat, but this almost always works for me.

Juice of 2 lemons mixed with a tablespoon of honey. Sib it slowly. Also Strepsil tablets.

You should go to the doctor and get a throat culture. Make sure you don't have strep. How would you like it if your date showed up to take you out and HE had strep? You'd be pissed.

Vitamin C, they sell it as a hard candy packaged like Halls. Sucking on them will sooth your throat while the vitamin C boosts you immune system to help you get better.
