Sore throat.
How can you get rid of a sore throat by Saturday? Or at least some methods to make it feel better for that day.
I woke up with one today, and I am going to Six Flags with my class.
Thank you in advance.

My friends grandmother once said that gargleing salt water works. i never tried it cause i was not that desperate to feel better but trying it wont hurt. Plus eats some cough drops, good ones with medicine in them.

oh, i hate when that happens! here's what you can do: sore throat lozenges (like chloraseptic, or chloraseptic spray even though they both taste like crap), cough drops, hot tea! drink lots of hot things, tea being the best. don't drink cold stuff, and don't talk too much. make sure to get enough rest. gargle with warm salt water repeatedly (maybe a few times when you get up, or when you go to sleep). i'm not really sure about this one because i'm not sure if it's true or not, but people who play wind instruments (saxophones, flutes, clarinets, trumpets) don't eat dairy products a few days before a concert. that's supposedly because the dairy clogs up your throat. so maybe you could stay away from milk and cheese and yogurt. it's best that you drink tea anyway :) i hope you get better!

Drink lots of hot tea, and gargle warm salt water.
It helps a real lot!

Gargle water mixed with cayenne pepper. Keep spitting it out and gargling it 'till it's gone, then don't drink anything for 10 minutes. That's my cure of choice, and it always works for me.
Here's a wikihow search, if you don't like my cayenne method:

ohh... i can definitally help you with that. You're talking to the girl who's been sick a lot and can get better in 2 days.
first off...
DONT drink anything cold. Tea Tea Tea! my grandma has a special tea mix that always helps me. Its Peppermint Tea with Honey and Sugar. It's really good and helps fast.
Next... don't talk because that just irritates your throat and makes it worse.
Finally, rest! even though sore throats don't have anything to do with rest... it sill helps your immune system and gets you healthier and less sick.
that's all you can do.
oh yeah and also take medicine. I normally take cough syrup and spray.
I hope you feel better and have fun at six flags!
