I am an herbal student and i use this home remedy for myself and my kids..it gets rid of any sore throat problem including strep in 24 hours.
1 tablespoon pure honey
4 cloves pressed fresh garlic
1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon of ground red (cayenne) pepper (grocery store spice section is fine)
mix it up and take a teaspoon of the mixture every half hour to hour. The honey has anitseptic properties and will make the mixture stick to the troat. Garlic is antibiotic and will kill any germs or viruses on the troat tissue. The cayenne will help increase circulation to the tissue and carry away the germs killed. Cayenne is also a great healer and will speed the healing of any broken tissues. It also has pain reliving properties. This mixture feels like a warm blanket from the inside out. You want it to stick to the throat so dont drink anything just after taking it. And rememver you have to take it ever half hour to hour.

gargle with salt water. use 1 teaspoon in 1/3 glass of warm water. do this as often as you like. it really works. you can also try Chloraseptic Spray sold over the counter, but i hate the tase. Salt water really helps relieve the pain and aids in healing. hope you feel better

I just had this illness and my tonsils got really huge. If you get to the point where you cannot swallow water, go to the doctors and tell them. They gave me a shot of steroids since I was unable to swallow any water... otherwise, I would have been admitted to the hospital.

make a water of tea tree oil. 10-12 drops TTO in 8 OZs of cold water.
Shake well and use as a gargle. It really works great.

I know this will sound disgusting but it works. Gargle with white vinager. You have to gargle so that the vinager hits the back of your throat. The ingredients in the vinager help break up any phlegm that is built up and helps soothe the throat.

Janie,
rebecca is right. I was in a lot of pain from a bad sore throat today & i asked a friend of mine & she told me the exact recipe that Rebecca gave. It helps although I added an Echinacea tablet to mine. The salt water is supposed to help, but it never helped me, but the recipe rebecca gave you certainly helped me.

And in the meantime you can also sip/drink glasses of honey (untreat/unheated) and lemon. The doctor is not there to make you better, only there to push drugs on to you.
