I have been sick for about 4 days now...I got sick extremely fast and out of nowhere...the first 3 days I had a bad head cold and ear aches- no sore throat just a scratchy throat- now I have the WORSE sore throat I've ever had next to the time I had mono and strep. It hurts so bad to swallow that I literally have to brace myself before I swallow. I have been taking Sudafed, girgling with salt water- drinking ice cold water- nothing seems to make it go away- I NEED SUGGESTIONS- I AM MISERABLE!!!!!!!!!!!

You may have strep throat & only after your doctor takes a throat culture, can that be determined. You need to be on some antibiotics to get rid of the infection in your throat/body, so see your doctor as soon as possible. If it's strep throat, it's highly contagious, so don't let anyone eat from a plate or silverware after you. Feel better real soon. :)

You have to kill the micro organism which supply you the sore throat and near the door to any viable virus. Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) is each antibacterial and antiviral. Tea Tree Oil has approximately the equal homes, however is extra tricky to make use of as it's an foremost oil. Use 15 to twenty drops of GPS in a bit of hot water three or four occasions an afternoon. Should do the trick quickly. NB: GSE could be very sour. Don't positioned an excessive amount of water or you can take a long time ingesting it. Have a tumbler of juice or some thing you favor to hand so you'll wash the bitterness down immediately. Take care of your self! The fine of success!

I'm with Zanthus: See a doctor.
You might try sipping a tea with lemon and honey in it. But if the salt water didn't help, I don't think that will.

You might have tonsilitis or severe strep - and you might need antibiotics. Call the doctor as soon as you can.
