What are some good ways to ease the pain of a sore throat or possibly cure it?!


Question: What are some good ways to ease the pain of a sore throat or possibly cure it.?
I have a really bad sore throat and couldn't sing at choir yesterday :(
I do not have strep throat (I got it checked), but it hurts really bad whenever I swallow
I am currently using hot cocoa to ease the pain, it doesn't really work that well though.
So what I'm wondering is, what ways are best for easing the pain of step throat or (possibly) curing it.?

Answers:
Ow- I know how you feel, There really is no quick fix but as a chronic tonsillitis sufferer they say to avoid dairy for any throat problem as it stimulates the mucus and can make things worse, so that said I guess coco won't really do a world of good. If you can't get to the doctors try gargling some listerine at the back of your throat to kill germs. also, anything cold will aggravate your throat so try some warm herbal tea.

Good Luck and Get Better,
