Answers:

Unless you have strep, there really isn't anything a doctor can do either.
First off, did you tell your parents because going on vacation with a sick kid is tough and even tougher if they don't know.
Second, you can feel better quicker by gargling with warm salt water 3-4 times a day and drinking lots of ice water. the salt water eases inflammation and drinking the ice water bathes away bacteria and the cold eases swelling.
Take an ibuprofen after gargling.



Taking some ibprofen can help with any inflammation, just be sure not to overdose.
Cough drops with honey.
hot compresses on your throat might help.
drink lots and lots of water.



warm salted water (gargle). x 3 times a day!

Eat GARLIC yep RAW garlic asap,
swallow IT!

Or over the counter! ZINC, works!



Throat lozenges and cough medicine.



Menthol throat lozenges soothe a sore throat.



Drink lots and lots of hot tea! Works for me at least. Hope u feel better!

From experience :-)



A SPOON OF HONEY.
