I have been told that a throat culture can come back negative even if it is positive, but there are lots of things that can make your throat sore!. Try some hot tea with honey & lemon in it, gargle saltwater, keep taking motrin!. If it doesn't get better in a couple days you might need some antibiotics!. If your Dr will prescribe amoxicillan or something similar, you can get it at Wal-mart for $4 or free at Publix if you have one in your area!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
I have the exact same thing and I'm in Ohio too!. Seems like everyone I talk to the past few days is sick!. Something must be going around!. I went to the drug store and got Tylenol multi-symptom Cold and cough drops and it didn't even put a dent in it!. Haven't slept much in the past 2 nights!. If you have Chloraseptic spray that seems to work but it tastes like crap!. The only thing I've found that eases the pain is hot drinks!. Unfortunately I think it's just something we have to suffer with because I've tried everything I can think of and nothing gets rid of the pain!. Maybe you can skip class tomorrow and try to get some rest!? Www@Answer-Health@Com

1) take some anti inflammatory to ease the pain and reduce swelling, try ibuprofen!.
2) gargle with some warm salt water
3) get some loseges to suck on
4) go to the school nurse and have her test you for strep throat or a bacterial infection!.

I HAD WHAT YOU HAVE LIKE TWO WEEKS AGO!.
it's a throat infection!. you could go to the doctor and they'll give you antibiotics but without it it'll go away anyway in a week or two!. what i found helped is: put bout a tablespoon's worth of lemon juice in a cup and however much honey you want to make it sweet enough, then put boiling water in it!. it made MY throat better!

I used to get strep throat all the time, it's definitely a pain!. If you haven't already, obviously go to the doctor and get tested!. In the mean time get menthol cough drops/cepacol!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I had those symrtoms and it ended up being mono!.
My doctor didnt test me for it for quite a while, and i ended up having to get a steroid shot to make the swelling in my throat go down!.

Honestly the best thing I have found is whatever hot tea you have with alot of honey!. The honey puts some sort of coat on your throat and makes the pain really go awayWww@Answer-Health@Com
