Drink plenty of fluid (any fluid), take motrin as directed, and try Cepacol lozenges. It helps a LOT. In regards to food, only eat a low-residue diet eg mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, jello, pudding, popsicles, apple sauce... Did you get a strep test? Are you on antibiotics? If its been four days now with no relief, ask your pcp if you can start antibiotics (augmentin or biaxin if no allergies). Guarantee you will feel 100x better after 24 hours.

I gargle with hydrogen peroxide when my throat is really sore,however be careful not to swallow the stuff.It makes it feel better almost immediately.Good luck.
