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

Probably a sinus infection. It's kind of gross, but the throat hurts because the discharge from the sinuses drips down the throat and makes it sore. It might go away on it's own, but she's had it a pretty long time and she really should see a doctor. It's probably too severe for any home remedies to help very much.

First a decongestant to stop the mucus from running down her throat. Then some lozenges to help the throat heal.

I had strep tonsilitis couple weeks ago and the infection was behind my tonsils and so bad that antibiotics would't fully work. Doctor had to stick a needle into the tonsil and withdraw a test tube full of puss. I remained on the antibiotics and it cleared in a couple days.

Might be tonsilitis. Try sucking on a throat lozenge like difflam. Otherwise, see your doctor.

Sounds like strep throat. See a doctor to get a throat culture. If strep gets bad enough it can kill a person.
