My grandmother recommended this remedy to me. It works wonders for the throat. Here's what you need to do: You need a glass of very warm water. Add some salt to the water. Once the water is salted, add a cap of white vinegar. Use all of the water to gargle. I recommend doing it in the morning and at night before bed. You can also use cough drops or throat spray to help throughout the day. Trust me, it works. I hope you get to feeling better soon.

Yes, you can get rid of it before tonight. Heat a cup of water in the microwave. Get some of the hot peppers they give you at the pizza places. Put those in some kind of strainer, like a tea bag, coffee filter etc. so you can infuse your water with the pepper without those little seeds getting in the water. Or just dump it all in and strain the water through later if you have a strainer. Let it get the color of tea. Add sweetener, usually a LOT!!!!! If you add enough, the tea will taste like cinnamon. Slowly sip it over about 1-2 hour period. I guarantee you the hot pepper will totally cure your throat! Then brush your teeth really well so you won't have bad breath from this and enjoy your dance!

Most important.. make sure, throughout the night, that the sinuses are NOT /dripping/running down your throat.. or else your throat will continue to be sore...
As opposed to what most people think, an MD will tell you that hot does not make it feel better, unless hte nasal passages are clogged and cannot "taste" teh hot on the back of your throat.
If nasal passages are clear, use iced/cold drinks instead.
and if it is really sore, buy the Chloraseptic spray and just numb the area so that you can sleep.

Lay on your back and eat popsicles. Keep them on your tonsils and the back of your throat for as long as you can before you swallow them.

P.S. My friend gave me Celestial Seasons' Echinacea tea, and I was surprised how much it helped.

Warm tea with some honey in it or hot chocolate (with marshmallows, of course!)
