If it is hurting that bad it may be strep and you should go to the dr.'s, but try gargling with warm salt water or Listerine mouth wash. One of those throat sprays will help with the pain as well. Take some Tylenol and eat Popsicles. Good luck.

Folk-remedy site Earth Clinic says that the ideal cure for a sore throat is to gargle warm water with a bit of cayenne pepper mixed in:
and if you want to try my great grandmothers cure just gargle a little bit of saltwater a few times....does the trick every time. a few dashes of salt mixed with water and nuke til warm.

when you are in severe pain, your body is sending you a message that something is not right. As much pain is you describe it's very possible you have an infection. You have to see your medical doctor for a correct diagnosis and proper medical treatment.
You can gargle with warm salt water to help relieve the pain. You need to see a medical doctor.

Try sipping hot water with lemon juice & honey.
Try the warm salty water throat gargle.
Suck a strepsil
but if you change your mind re: medicine try betadine throat gargle.

It's most likely tonsilitis. If you have a hard time swallowing, you need antibiotics aside from the gargling of those things that were adviced to you by the other blokes. Ask your doctor what you should buy to make the inflammation subside.

This is a local remedy from where I come from:
Get some tamarin paste (you can find it at a vietnamese store) and put it in warm drinking water. Drink the water as often as possible, do not drink too much. You can also use tamarin juice (usually in a bottle).

it will burn... but if u gargle listurine it kills all the germs in your throat causing the soarness. You will have to repeate this atleast 2 times an hour for the rest of the day, it will burn when u do it ... but it will releeve the soarness and make it go away alot faster. ( this even works with strep )

If it turns out to be just a sore throat, the remedies that people have given you will work just fine. But please have a strep culture done by your doctor. If it turns out to NOT be strep, you're fine. But untreated strep throat can lead to rheumatic fever. Don't kid around - be sure it's just a plain old sore throat. If it's as painful as you claim, it's worth investigating.
