Ok my throat is really sore....I'll drink something and it will give me relief for about a minute but then it starts to hurt again
I have the cold that has been going around here and ppl said that it will last about a week.......ARRRR i hate sore throats...i don't mind the coughs but the sore throats!!!!!!!

Get a humidifier, or wear a surgical mask so the air you breathe is nice and moist.
Drink lots of liquids -- especially hot stuff. I like lemon and honey and hot water, or ginger and honey and hot water.
Suck on some hard candies, to keep the saliva flowing.
Try gargling with salt water -- that'll kill the bad stuff. Also, gargling with plain, warm tea will help a little.
Get some rest, and make sure you're eating right.
(-: Maybe tomorrow it will be gone! Good luck!

Throat infection
============
Place a little water in a cup
Add four to ten drops of Tabasco sauce
Gargle and spit it out
Rinse mouth with normal water but don’t gargle or swallow it.
Repeat in 20-30 mins time and 20-30 mins after that = end of infection.
(Cells divide in 20 mins, by killing the surviving cells that divide, you win)
It works..

If you are not allergic to Pineapple juice, get the as pure a pineapple juice as you can, sip it slowly every so often. If you can, also, get fresh pinepple cut it and suck on the chunks....
I read this somewhere as a cure for singers..

Try drinking tea w/ honey. Also, get as much rest as possible. And don't eat fried foods and try to stay away from baked food as well.

All I can suggest is drink hot water (not too hot, okay?)...well, you may drink tea w/ honey. Don't you ever drink cold drinks first...it will be getting worse... ^_^
