Gargle with warm salt water - it will help kill any bacteria present!. For the annoying tickle - swallow a tablespoon of honey before bed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
all i know is that when i have a sore throat infection or what ever doesent have to be an actual infection i mean when i have a normal sore throat i swallow an ice cube but i dont swallow all the way i stop the ice cub in my throat and let it melt its very soothing and helps a lot the first few times you try it is very hard to do but your fiancee will get the hang of it who knows maybe even you can try itWww@Answer-Health@Com

Try sleeping at a slight angel!. Also warm teas etc!. IB Prophen will lessen the swelling!. Try a warm cloth or heating pad on the area of the throat that bothers him most!. Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Take some cough medicine, drink something hot like soup, and get plenty of rest!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Prop him up with pillow to ease the coughing at night!. It will allow proper drainage into the throat instead of getting caught there!. Also, you may want to have him try a tea called "Throat coat" it should literally help coat his throat (go figure) thus reducing the urge to cough!. Sucking on a cough drop or piece of hard candy is always good during the day to keep symptoms at bay!. Another good idea would be to take a hot shower and close the door to the bathroom!. Have him breath in the steam for about 20 minutues!. P!.S!. Buy some vicks and put it on his chest if worse comes to worseWww@Answer-Health@Com
Good idea on changing doctors, if she hasn't prescribed an antibiotic at the very least, she's a poor excuse of a doctor!
Run the tap to get the water hot but not scalding!. Fill a glass about three-quarters of the way full, then add 1-2 teaspoons of salt!. Have him gargle with that, with his head tilted back so it's as much on the back of his throat as he can stand!.
Keep a bottle of water by the bed so when he starts coughing, he can drink some and try to tame the tickle!.
Hope he feels better soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
