xcheerbabex108 answered Friday January 27 2006, 9:10 pm: I'm not in expertise in medical, but you may have strep, also. Try gargling with [warm] salt water, and/or drinking tea. *Drink fluids! [i recommend warm pop, because its carbonated]*
Feel better and good luck, hun. &hearts'
Mckick answered Friday January 27 2006, 3:53 pm: Sometime it might not even be the fly. You could have a ear infection. It will cause your throat to be sore. I would try going to the doctor and see if it's that. If hot try graggleing with warm salt water. That helps me when I have a sore throat. good luck [ Mckick's advice column | Ask Mckick A Question ]
jesa21 answered Friday January 27 2006, 2:38 pm: i use chloreseptic spray, comes in green and red, it numbs your throat temporaily so you wont feel the pain, but warning i wont even call them flavors, either color tastes god awful. upside, you will be able to swallow without cringing in pain. hope you feel better soon.

ncblondie answered Friday January 27 2006, 1:48 pm: Try a cup of hot tea with honey and lemon. The warm tea relaxes the muscles while the honey soothes and the lemon helps it to heal. Whenever I get a sore throat, I buy Hall's Daily Defense cough drops. They help soothe the soreness and the vitamins in them seem to speed recovery time. As old-fashioned as it sounds, sometimes a bowl of steaming chicken noodle soup helps. One last thing you might try is a mint steam. Check your spice rack for mint or purchase some from the grocery store. Put the mint in a pot with some water and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, lean over with a towel over your head and breathe in the steam for 10-15 minutes. [ ncblondie's advice column | Ask ncblondie A Question ]
SweetxxIntoxication answered Friday January 27 2006, 11:58 am: well, gargling with warm salt water helps.
and a hot bath makes everything better =)
and if you can sleep that would be good too, and drink water.
bread and bagels help too, the roughness scratches up your throat (not in a sore way) and removes some of the virus that is there [ SweetxxIntoxication's advice column | Ask SweetxxIntoxication A Question ]
