My Glands Are The Most Swollen I Think They've Ever Been. I've Heard of Gargling w/ Warm Salt Water Which Helps, But Does Anyone Know of Any Better Remedy? I've Been Taking Advil Which has Worked Alot Better Than Tylenol But So Far A Few Beers Here and There and Has Helped The Most...

If your glands are swollen, you have an infection. Swollen glands means they are working to fight the infection. The salt water helps with throat pain. See a doctor for antibiotics.

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

Gargling with salt water, spraying antiseptic, throat losanges..
if it persists longer than 3 - 5 days consult a doctor. You might have strep throat.

alcohol is not good to drink when you are suffering from a sore throat! That will worsen the condition.
If you can, drink plenty of fluids like fruit juices and water; No sodas!
Try and get plenty of rest and stay warm, which includes wearing socks and long johns, if you got 'em.
Unfortunately, there is no quick cure for a sore throat
