Sore Throat!?!

Sore Throat!?

Hello

I started to get a sore throat on friday and its gotten worse despite advil cold pills iv been taking. I am really busy as I have a huge test on monday and I just cant study with my throat like this its not really sore I can swallow there is no huge burning sensation it kind of tickles and I can feel that sensation in my ears so I dont think its anything bad like strep. Since then my nose is running really bad, the onlything that provides some relief is hot green tea. Anyone know any over the counter drugs that will get rid of what ever I have?

Cold pills and advil treat symptoms but actually make your cold slightly worse by supressing the immune system. They will not make a sore throat get better faster, but slower! The best thing to do to get rid of the soreness at this point is Chloraseptic, it just makes your throat numb so it doesn't hurt.
