maybe get to the doctor for antibiotics...also here is a recipe that is supposed to be good for colds (also chicken soup)

Garlic and Herb Pasta

(This serves 2 really hungry people but can be spread out to 4 people if you serve it with a salad or something.)

 24 cloves of garlic, peeled (This is a really boring job but it's so very worth it.)
 2 T olive oil
 1 1/2 cup veggie broth or water
 a couple of Roma tomatoes and a little onion, maybe some red pepper
 ~2 T dried basil
 tarragon, oregano, pepper to taste (the more the better, usually 2 tsp tarragon is perfect)
 Whatever pasta floats your boat (I like penne or mostaciolli)

Sautee the garlic cloves (still whole) in the olive oil for 3 minutes, stirring frequently and being VERY careful not to burn them. If you do, throw em out and start over b/c burned garlic in this is REALLY gross. Add 1/2 c of the broth and turn the heat to low and let simmer for awhile, about 15 minutes or until the broth has evaporated mostly. [You should start the water for the pasta now.]
By this point, the garlic should be soft enough to crush with the back of a wooden spoon. Crush about 3/4 of them like this. Add the rest of the broth, the sliced up tomatoes, the chopped up onion, and the herbs.
I've actually never measured out the herbs I put in, so you should taste the broth and see how you like it. Wait a couple minutes for the tomatoes to shrivel up, add more pepper, and turn the heat off. Try not to drool into the broth. :)

Until you can get to your doctor, try gargling with warm, salty water. It can help slow the infection down at least a LITTLE (although it's no subsitute for antibiotics), and will help soothe your throat as well. Also, drink lots of fluids, preferably cool - they don't necessarily do anything for the infection, but they'll at least keep your throat from hurting quite so much.

Should you develop a significant fever (103.5 or over), then it's definitely time to get to an ER.

Feel better soon!

If it is strep, it won't go away without an antibiotic. Best to see you doctor. Untill then, suck on something, like cough drop or candy, that will help keep your throat moist. You could also gargle with salt water. But, you still should call your doctor.

You should see your doctor, if it's strep throat you need antibiotics.
Symptoms

Whitening/Reddening of the tonsils, fever, problems swallowing and eating. Drinking hot liquids helps. Orange juice and grapefruit juice should not be consumed, because the acids in them may irritate the throat.

i prefer to propose those packets referred to as Emergen-C you get in the drugstore/nutrition section and that they cost around $10 for the container of packets at WalMart. they arrive in distinctive flavors like: Raspberry, Citrus, purple Lemonade, large Orange - my sought after is the large Orange. you combine them in water or juice (no longer something carbonated - I discovered the puzzling way that it spills over like a volcano erupting and leaves no longer something left in the cup). Bottled water works superb for me, in basic terms pour it in and shake it up. It boosts your immunity device and delivers potential on the comparable time. It cuts your ill time way down, I even have used those thrice whilst getting real ill and interior of a pair days i became into on the mend.

Take care and as any wellbeing expert make it easier to be attentive to - get a lot of relax if conceivable.
