Gargle with warm salt water and if it doesn't get better go to the Dr because strep is going around here. I would stay away from anything that is carbonated or anything with a lot of acid in it.
You might try some Echinacea Complete Care tea. It has Eucalyptus mint and is very soothing.

Warm drinks will be the most soothing.
You can also take Tylenol and spray with a topical anesthetic, in addition to salt gargles.
If you think you have strep throat, you should see a healthcare provider. Strep throat can hurt your kidneys and your heart if left untreated. I've posted a link to pictures of a throat infected with strep.

Try some peppermint tea. Put a little honey in it to control dryness and coughing. A couple of Tylenol wouldn't hurt either. Feel better soon.

Anything warm and soothing. Soups or broths - or even a warm glass of milk. 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

The coca cola has nothing to do with it.. you've got a throat infection, and you will get better eventually. If you are really worried, then take yourself to a doctor. If you're old enough (and well enough) to go to a party, then you can't be that ill, and you can get yourself to the doc.

I think that warm drinks feel more soothing, but my husband has always preferred cold. Try both and see what helps you to feel better. I think that soup broth, hot tea or hot cocoa are good ideas. Hope you feel better soon.

Gargle with warm salt water. it's one of the oldest, simplest and most effective sore throat treatments.
It not only disinfects, but also helps ease the pain.
Warmed (but not real hot) ginger ale or 7up also helps.
Try it. It works.

Anything warm and soothing like tea with honey

cold water..cold tea.
Most people say drink hot tea with honey and lemon, but I disagree with that. Cold liquids feel better and are more soothing.
Cheers and GET WELL SOON, HUNNY!
