If you are looking for temporary relief, Chloraseptic provides a numbing of your throat that lasts for up to an hour. Otherwise common home remedies include honey, warm tea, and throat drops...either way, make sure you go to the doctor in case it is strep or something. If they give you meds make sure to take them until they are gone so your body can build up immunity to the bacteria.
Hope I helped!

lots and lots of warm soup is the key. also keep in mind to drink tones of fluids i mean a lot. you could also suck on a mint or candy for extra fun lol. but seriously try not to cough too much i pop a vessel in my thought once and started coughing up blood it was terrible.
Ok .... this works.
I was told this by a doctor who threatened to take out my tonsils if they got bad again.
Gargle with Listerine. I mean almost to the point that you feel like you're going to swallow it (DON'T SWALLOW IT), then bring it back up.
Do this every few hours and it will kill the bacteria.
try to gargle with salt water. that always works for me. put about a teaspoon of salt in a small glass of warm water, drink it and lay the water on the back of you're throat while you breathe out. Do it for about thirty seconds or as long as you can stand three times each day. Try some medicine that your doctor suggests, but if it lasts a long time (over a week) and it is persistantly terrible, go to your doctor.
