Answer 6

Gargle salt water. No joke; go ahead and search the web for this method yourself.

Answer 7

Take some halls.

Answer 8

Go buy some Golden Seal Root, or Echinechea, this stuff works amazing, it actually kills a virus and fast. Also have you tired sucking on some halls, or sucrets, guzzling salt water can help even though it tastes disgusting just don't swallow it or anything, also have you tried drinking some tea.

Answer 9

We've all had those.

Drink warm water, nothing cold.

No sodas.. nothing sugary or salty that can

irritate your throat.

Drink tea.. if you'd like, get warm water mix it with salt,

gargle and spit every morning and night.

No candies either.

Drink lots and lots of water.

It's take you a good 4 to 5 days to get rid of.

Just hang in there. ;)
