Just because you have a sore throat doesn't mean it's step-throat. It could be post-nasal dripping.This happens whenever your have too much mucus that drips from the back of your nose and into you throat. Try eating some warm liquidy food, like soup. Don't worry if your food has chunks of meat or vegetables; it'll help you swallow some dry food, like pretzel sticks. If this doesn't help, I would suggest talking to a medical expert that you know, or you can call a health line and ask for some help.

Despite doing salt water gargling and still you don't have respite then you should visit a doctor as you might be having the problem with your tonsils if you have them or that you have take bad water after eating oily foods and hence this type of pain and irritation in the throat.Kindly continue to gargle with the anti bacterial mouth wash and do not eat any oily foods & dont drink cold water too for a week or so and avoid alcohaol if you take adrink. this should help you in a period of a week or 10 days,wishing you all the luck in fast recovery of sore throat.

Okay, first use Chloraseptic. I'm not sure of the spelling.
Then use HOT salt-water to gargle every ten minutes until the pain stops. It may take three hours. Start it immediately regardless of the Chloraseptic.
If that doesn't work - then you REALLY need a doctor.
The County ER has to take you whether you can pay or not. But a free clinic won't persue you for the money afterwards.

Try some Halls Lozenges.
Motrin has always helped for me. My throat hurt so badly that I couldn't talk and was practically crying. Motrin made it pretty much go away within 15 minutes.
If your throat still hurts that much tomorrow or the next day, I suggest going to see the doctor.
I hope you feel better soon!

There's an herbal tea at health food store and some high grade grocery stores called Throat Coat. It works wonders

George Washington died of strep throat, so take it seriously, and go to the Doctor.

well, you could try eating ice cream, sucking on ice, or sucking on minty items. Sometimes these help. You should really see a doctor, though. Good luck

Are your lymph nodes in front (or behind your ear) swollen? If so, it could be strep and you'll need antibiotics to get rid of it.
