Awww.... that really sucks! I have some great things you can do to help yourself.
First, Drink a lot of water. Tea feels great, but some don't like it. If you don't stick with icy water.
Next, you can install a humidifier (if you already have one)
If not, keep a window open at night and in the morning.
After that, use only 1 teaspoon of salt per glass of water and gargle for thirty seconds, and then spit it out. It reduces the swelling. If you do this too frequently then you will have too much salt in your system and it will only clog your glands which are already clogged more.
Lastly, take Tylenol OR Ibuprofen. No other medicines really help. Take only the right dosage amount.
Though these are not for a sore throat, they should still help you feel better-, they might do something to help calm you
Take a warm bath and breathe in and out slowly through your nose.
Have a cough drop.

Have some hot chocolate that isn't too hot for your throat, but still feels really good when you swallow it.
Suck on an ice cube if you cannot handle hot chocolate or don't have it.
I hope this helps!Health Question & Answer

first i don't know why everyone is suggesting old methods that don't work. this is the alternative age everyone! we need to be coming up with new ways to treat old problems and there have been sore throats since a long time ago.
i think icy hot might be good for a sore throat. it will go on icy to dull the pain and heat up to soothe it away. just put a little dab on a q-tip (not too much and don't swallow any because it might be toxic)
if you have a bad gag reflex and a q-tip hurts, put some on an apple (again not to much). just keep it out of your eyes because it hurts.Health Question & Answer

easy solution is a saltwater gargle
not sure if you have any cepacol spray - that will numb the throat
i have heard cayenne pepper
i have also heard apple cider vinegar

those are all i can think of off the top of my headHealth Question & Answer
