Hmmm...this is getting weird! Please don't ask this question again...
If it's just a sore throat by itself, then try some warm tea with honey in it or some lozenges. If it's accompanied by a fever, you should get in to the doctor. It could be strep and you'll need antibiotics.
drink lots of hot tea - it should help
If its REALLY bad go see a doctor!
If you cant do that, gargle salt water (i hear), or drink warm tea with honey. Also, buy some Echinacea pills (its an herbal suppliment) it helps healing. I use it all the time!
Strepsils and natural vinegar.
Drink warm liquid like tea. Also gargling with salt water helps.
If you are having trouble swallowing or have a fever you might want to check with your doctor. A sore throat could just be allergies or it could be strep. Strep requires antibiotics and if that is the case, if you start taking them now, you should feel a little better before your vacation.
Some possible remedies to try: try salt water gargling, tea with honey, chloraseptic spray, vitamin C or airborne, or Popsicles. Avoid spicy foods as they can inflame your already irritated throat, and milk products that leave a coating on the throat.
Good luck!
just gurgle warm water with salt. or use mouth wash and take medicine for sore throat, ex. strepsils
