I have such a soar throat, what can i do to make it better?

Question

Okay, so i've been waiting weeks and weeks to go to this party.

I've heard it's going to be the best of the Summer.

But, when i woke up this morning my throat was hurting so bad!

I've been laying in bed, and drinking tea for most of the day. I even tried this spray medicine for my throat.

When i looked in the mirror i noticed my throat was a bright red and i would usually assume its a cold. However, this is my only symptom. I don't have a fever, nor a simple headache.

What can i do to make it feel better?

Does anyone know any home remedies, or medicines that would work?

I really want to party tonight, but if my throat is feeling this bad, theres no way ill be going out tonight.

Answer 1

Don't know if it will get you better by tonight, but:

Gargle with Hydrogen peroxide (it will feel weird because of bubbles).

Suck on Zinc lozenges. Suck on cough drops with eucalyptus ...or try Cepastat Lozenges.

Vit C 2000mg every 2 hours.

Add lemon & honey to your tea...lemon for germs, honey to soothe.

Feel better

Answer 2

you might have strep throat i would go to the doc and get some meds.or get some nice  to dissolve in your throat.

Answer 3

There'll be plenty of more parties to go to in the future. You should get to an emergency room right away. You need your throat to survive, find out what's wrong. I use my voice to make a living. When I have a sore throat, I rest my voice, eat canned peaches, soft food, I stop smoking, and drinking alcohol, or any other destructive behavior that lowers my bodys immune system. Ice for inflammation. Suck it, chew it, just get it in the throat hole to cool it off. And see a doctor, now, okay?

Answer 4

gargle using salt water.

Answer 5

Try a spoonful of honey.
