Ibuprofen (advil) is great for sore throats and body aches, and although it does not make the pain go away 100% it definitely helps make you feel a bit better. Just get some rest and drink lots of water.

I would say... get plenty of rest... take benedryll and get some throat lodges/ spray. Take vitamins... drink orange juice. Soup's good too :)

Hope you feel better

You can buy some cough drops, make sure they're medicated. Although, I find they only temporarily relieve my throat. Go to a drug store and get Cepocal brand if you can find it. They use them in a hospital and they are very strong. They come in a little box and taste nasty, but they're very effective.

You can try gargling warm salt water. I always do that when my throat is scratchy and it comforts my throat for a while.

really hot tea with a few drops of lemon and about a teaspoon of honey....... it tastes good too. It helps clear the vocal cords of what causes the scratchyness.
Hope i helped
