Drinking lots of fluids helps. Warm fluids will sooth the throat. Hot tea with honey in it has always helped me. What might help most of all is a visit to the doctor! -  |

gargle with salt water and listerine...not at the same time though LOL If it's been going on for almost a week I'd go to the doc personally  |

Thanks for the advice guys...the only thing is, I can't stand tea! It's like drinking a liquid plant > . I'm not a big fan of salt water either, but I'll do it if I have to. And I'll definitely try the Listerine. Does it have to be Listerine, though? Cause my mom is cheap and we only have the Equate brand, LOL.  |

Well Blondie, the good news is... The honey will sweeten up the tea and make it drinkable. I don't like tea either, personally.  - |

I agree with Becky...Try the salt/water...and the listerine....I also have a throat problem...And I will be doing the salt/water thing....I would rather do that, then use the listerine.. ..Listerine burns my mouth...**Big Canadian Hugs**  |

I'm still scared to drink that tea, Smoothcriminal...I'm scared it'll just taste like a liquid plant with honey on it! |

Whenever you brush your teeth, be sure to scrub/brush your tongue as well; gargle with listerine afterwards; then follow up with saltwater, as warm as you can stand it. A few days of this regime should do the trick.  |

I would say if it hurts really bad, go to the doc and see if there is an infection, because if that is left untreated you can get very sick. Im the type that wont go until I am very sick...please dont do that, lol! Cough drops with honey are very good, tea and honey, otc meds...I hope you feel better! *hugs* xox Che-  |

Post Nasal Drip? Probably caused by some sort of allergy...there are several different otc meds you can get for it but i have found the Halls fruit breezers are supprisingly tasty and they really help your throat - i know i've had one for two weeks now!  |

oh - and this is gross but look at the color of your mucus (snot) if it is yellow or green you got an infection and need a doc |

If you have strep throat, you need an antibiotic. See a Doc and get a throat culture.  |
