the pain stopped after about 1 - 2 days and it worked immeditaly.

Answer 8

I would talk with your doctor and tell them your symptoms and what you've been taking. The doctor can recommend things to you to alleviate the sore throat. If it gets worse, you need to see him. If this keeps recurring, you need to see the Ear, Nose, and Throat Doctor.  

Answer 9

Sorry but everything that you mentioned is what usually works.  I usually get bad sore throat too.  I try to eat a lot of fruits that contain Vitamin C.  I drink lots of lemonade and orange juice.

Answer 10

you  need an antibiotic! all the things you have tried over the counter are just treating symptoms, that will only get worse as you have said.

Answer 11

Try gargling with Coke. It relives throat dryness. Use a spray called "Chloraseptic". It numbs the throat. Suck on zinc throat lounges(taste terrible but work well against throat infections).

Religiously take a 24 hour allergy tablet every day. Spray your nose with an allergy spray like NasalCrom. As soon as you're old enough go to a doctor that WILL remove your tonsils and give you an adenoid scrape.
