You might have strep throat. You should go to the doctor and get swabbed for strep. I f you have strep they'll give you an answer after that My moms a nurse so I know all the symptoms.

There are lots of home remedies, and store-bought, but LISTEN to the advice about antibiotics, because if it is Strep, untreated strep can lead to rheumatic fever,(permanent heart damage),PLUS it is infectious to those around you.
Chloraseptic throat spray, numbs your throat, but can burn like a bear first.......and is not a solution for long term.
Hot tea with honey can be soothing.......and Sucrets cough drops have numbing properties too. Advil can help lessen the pain also........good luck

Sore throat is usually due to a viral infection. Gargling with warm salty water or mouthwash can reduce the pain and inconvenience. More details and home remedies available at http://ailments.in/sorethroat.html
