It hurts very bad when I try to swallow water or soup or anything.. It feels as if there is mucus stuck on them or something.. There are white spots on them and they're inflamed.
I have salt water but I'm not sure if that will even help at this point. What can I do for temporary pain relief until I am able to get chloraseptic fluid to spray on them?

I threw up last night, and afterwards that's when they started hurting pretty bad.. I feel sick now - probably from trying to swallow with the nastiness..

Gargles, Antibiotics, doctor's advice everything is OK, just for immediate relief suck Bennylet (benzocaine) lozenges.
Good luck!

Eat puffed Cheetos. I know ... your throat hurts, so WHY would I tell you to eat something 'rough' like a Cheeto? Because I've used them for 'sore throats' from tonsilitis to strep throat. There's salt and cheese on them, and that 'coats your throat' with the salt, which helps take the pain away. If you want, try eating frozen strawberries first ... they're 'hard' but if you chew them and 'swallow slowly' the ice can take down the swelling and relieve a little of the pain ... but the 'true pain relief' is in the PUFFED Cheetos. My doctor tried this when he had a bad sore throat, and now he 'prescribes this' for pain relief to his patients who have bad sore throats. Salt water will 'work' a little, but it's the 'cheese' that helps the salt ADHERE to the soreness that really makes the 'pain relief' work better.

Sounds like Strep-Thraot. Gargling with warm salt water does help and so does pushing as many fluids as you can. Try taking 3 advil and then 2 hours later take 2 tylenol and repeat every 5 hours. I was given that advice for pain a while back. If it doesnt get any better in a few days i would go to a doctor.

Go see a doctor asap ( and get a penicillin shot , if you are not allergic to penicillin).. The doctor always ask me if i want the shot or the pill. I take the shot it work faster.After the pain of my throat what's the pain of shot in the hip?( i don't notice the shot in my hip).The doctor will put you on antibiotics.
It want go away with home remedies.
It can get worse over time. I have had a lot of strep throat , there were times when my throat was so infected and swollen i could not talk. I have had strep twice so far this year.
How can you stand the pain ? Now when i get a throat infection i go to the doctor right away.

Go to the doctors immediately you may have thrush or some other throat infection. Chloraseptic spray only dulls the pain but doesn't really work if you have a serious infection in need of medical attention. Try to suck on ice chips or popsicles, to soothe your throat. Anything else may just iritate you.

wow, go to the doctor and get some antibiotics. I had strep throat once and it was the MOST painful thing ever because I let it go so long before seeing a doctor. Over the counter pain meds will only dull the pain and for a short time only. You need to see a doctor so you can get some meds maybe even strong pain killers like vicodin or something.

Go to the doc, have them removed. Chloraseptic will not help. Salt water will not help. Over the counter pain relievers might help a little but the only way to really stop it is to go see your doctor and have your tonsils removed and make sure that's what it is and not something else.

Okay, I think I know what you're talking about. This happens to me too sometimes. Try to press gently on your tonsils. Press right under the opening at the top, near the middle of your tonsils. If you see a white thing poke out, keep pressing until it comes out. Do it until all of them come out (in both tonsils). But don't press too hard or too much or you'll get really sore. Those things are supposedly food that been storing up in your tonsils. It's kinda nasty, but I'd rather get them out myself, otherwise I can feel myself swallow them. Do this every time your tonsils start hurting. Good Luck!

You have either tonsilitis or strep throat - see your doctor.
I had a similar ailment recently, and I let it go so long that the bacteria kind of ate a hole into some of the soft skin on the back of my throat, and I ended up losing 10 pounds because it hurt so much to swallow that I could not eat.
Also, strep throat can be contagious for 2 weeks if it's not treated.

Gargle with salt water. It won't stop the pain, but it may help.
Chloraseptic will only dull the pain temporarily. It sounds like you have infected tonsils, but that's for a doctor to determine. Call and make an appointment - it's time to get a professional on this case.

Know the asteroid wellhead tonsil stones them for many years and it's been title not eventually.
Best decision I've ever made! I was shocked by the way of getting out the stones out. It was so easy, but more importantly, painless. I really liked the little trick he had for preventing gag reflex. He have one happy customer here.
