Answers:
are there white patches on the back of your throat!? are you running a fever!? these are both signs of strep and you'll need to see a dr asap!.
otherwise try these
-gargle warm salt water (2tsp salt to 8oz water) as needed
-suck on ice cubes or hard candy
-drink hot tea w/honey (avoid lemon-the acid will irritate your throat more)
-if not allergic, take ibuprofen-this will help w/pain!. take 200-400 mg every 6 hour as needed but no more than 1200 mg in 24 hours
-sleep w/a warm mist humidifier in your room!. this will help keep the air moist and prevent your throat from getting dried out and irritated!.
avoid carbonated drinks, juice, spicy or acidic foods-these will all make the pain worse!.
you can also try taking an over the counter decongestant such as Mucinex or robutessin DM (spelling)!. both of these medications are designed to get rid of the mucous you keep trying to clear out!.
