I've had this for about .. a week now and it didn't go away yet. I haven't been at the doctors either. What should I do to make this go away? Could it be something serious that it lasted this long? Please help me!

There's an all natural product available from pharmacies called Alkalol. I can't tell you how many times I've awakened in the middle of the night realizing I was going to be sick with a sore throat.
But since I've gargled with Alkalol in the middle of the night if need be, I have never gotten a sore throat...the one I ALWAYS GOT before.
Sometimes it will provide relief from pain in just a few minutes.
Where I get it, the price just went up to about $4.50.
The best to you.

If sore throat has lasted more than a week, you should see a doctor. It could be serious.

Speak as little as possible. Stop smoking. Avoid drinking cold fluids and sweets. Drink plenty of fluids. Gargle with mouthwashes or warm salt water. Suck antiseptic lozenges.

Peppermit or Green Tea with Lemon, Cinnamon Sticks, and Honey.
and Rub Vapor rub on your chest or just inhale it straight from the bottle.
Works for me.

Hey I have the answer. Buy some vic's vapor rub and put a liberal amount outside of your throat and it will be gone over night .
Good luck.

I'd take zinc losenges - 2 a day for a week and if it still hasn't gone away, I'd go see the doctor.

Menthol helps to soothe a sore throat. Get it at your local grocery or supermarket.

Try some tea with lemon and honey. That's what singers use to soothe their throats.
