Answer 1

Try putting Vick's Vapour Rub on the out side of the throat,also a quarter of a teaspoonful of salt and 2 teaspoonful of vinegar in a glass of luke warm water and gargle.

When the throat is relieved don't throw the mixture away continue to use the gargle.

GOOD LUCK.

Answer 2

your throat is swollen & infected.

try gargaling warm salt water.

MUCINEX wich is over the counter is GREAT.

it loosens up any mucus in the throat, which sounds like what you have.

try not to eat dairy product, it will make your throat feel thicker & the mucus will stay stuck longer.

drink ALOT of water after your mucus loosens up.

Answer 3

.5 teaspoon of salt and .5 teaspoon of baking soda in 500mls of water...gargle. Ice pack to glands in neck.  Ibuprofen to shrink swelling.

If it is bacterial you might not be able to fight it without antibiotics...penicillin is cheap...isnt a basic dr appt only 35 bucks..don't in states they have pharmacist clinics that can prescribe??the penicillin itself (the old meds) are cheap.

Shoulda made Hillary president; terrible that usa is only democratic country without universal health care...disgraceful that you do not have that basic necessity of life provided.

Answer 4

Gargle WARM salt water, buy some Chloraseptic, it works temporarily but not long term. After you use the Chloraseptic, suck on some cough drops. They have a numbing effect that will extend the use of the sore throat med. Good luck.

Answer 5

Gargle salt water, keep doing it...Try some steam to loosen up the sinus, and try some tea if you have any. Sip slowly, Gargle with warm salt water often. Feel better.
