If you are having trouble breathing, go to a hospital.

If not, wait until Walgreens or a store with over the counter medicine opens so that you can go in and buy the SPRAY for sore throats. Ask the store clerks to help you find it, and don't give up until you find it. Like cough drogs and all those, there are different brands, but they all contain anesthesia which will allow you to not feel so much pain.

The cough drops are good, I would also suggest that after you take the spray, wait a few minutes for the effect to kick in and drink plenty of fluids. Get a hydrator while you are at the store if you haven't been drinking fluids so that your body can fight this more efficiently.

Go get some 'sever cold tea' or at the very least green tea or the like, and drink warm. Again, wait to get the spray and then, when there is no pain, swallow away.

Make sure you follow the instructions on it. Some sprays will tell you to swallow the product, and others are so good and strong that after you spray your tonsils, you must spit out the product.

So yeah, that and try not to talk so much, if you even can at this point.

Sorry to hear that you are feeling like this, and to know it's in this family too, it spooks me, I shall hide in here until everyone is well again.

Be good, feel better.

Answer 3

You don't have to "like" honey to use it if you're in that much pain! If you will mix a half cup of honey with a quarter cup of apple cider vinegar and EVERY hour, take a sip, gargle and then swallow it slowly, within a day it will relieve your throat pain. It is very healing. You can also swab your tonsils and throat with this mixture several times an hour. It's that or stay sick.

Answer 4

1) Gargle with warm water & salt-3 times per day.Before you sleep,make sure that you gargle with salt water or any other gargle solution.You are sure to have a good night’s sleep when you are feeling much better. 2) Get plenty of comfort & rest.Sleeping can help your body recover from the damages that any sickness or disease can bring.Sleep at least eight hours a day. 3) For pain relief,sip a heated mixture of water,lemon & honey. 4) The best way,of course, is to visit a doctor for consultation or treatment.

Answer 5

Go to the ER.
