Answer 1

Gargle with soluble asprin, an our before you go, it will bring down your temperature and take the edge of the pain. honey and lemon (hot)is good, keep taking them

Answer 2

Are you coughing up phlegm ?

if not, you may have just a post nasal drip cough which really irritates the throat.  Taking a claritin or zyrtec, etc, will take the pain away in no time.

Answer 3

gargle with listerine it will take the pain out of your throat.
