umm maybe you have strep throat? try whiskey and honey it sometimes helps me stop coughing might help that too. you might even take a pain killer like advil for it?

dont drink orange juice, the acid will irritate your throat. take vitamin c pills and what the first guy said about chloraseptic. and take some ibuprofen too. you can switch off with that and acetaminphen every two hours. go see a doctor too. you probably have strep or mono, and strep can kill you if you dont get antibiotics. that is how george washington died.

Go to the doctor, I get strep throat often and its no joke. Do not drink any citrus juice it will only make it the pain worse. Go to the doctor and they will give you an antibiotic that will knock out the pain within 24HRS

i just got over a sore throat same problems. I went to the doctor and it was Pharyngitis inflammation of throat. she gave me some antibioctics. Make sure you get alot of rest. But cold things will help and for the pain take ibprofen 600-800 mg. try some ice pops.

I use Vicks vapor drops or cepacol throat drops.
Also drink lots of fluids.
Saltwater gargle.
Sometimes you just bacteria in your throat and a mouth wash can help sometimes.
You should see a doctor if it's been that long.
~~Goodluck~~

gargle four times a day with warm salt water(lots of salt), It soothes it and fights infections and bacterias. My doc said at least four times a day is good. Listerine 4 times a day is good to kill these germs too, but the warm saltwater feels better.

Go get tested for strep throat. Untreated it can cause a variety of damage.

Might be strep. See a doctor for antibiotics.

Get cepacol (it's over the counter). It will numb your throat so it can heal.
Get better soon!
