    Okay, so, I've got a good cure for this.

    First, gargle with warm salt water. Yeah, it's nasty, but it helps the throat heal.

    Next, make some hot tea, kinda strong, and sweeten it with honey, NOT sugar. Sugar slimes the throat and makes it hurt more. Add some lemon juice, and you're all set.

    Salt water cleans the throat of any germs. Honey helps the cough, tea helps the pain, lemon helps the throat not slime up and hurt worse.

    It'll help, believe me. :')

    Hope you feel better!!

    For sore throat gargle with warm water and salt. For a cough use cough lozenges or cough syrup. Drink plenty fluids and rest. If it gets worse notify Doctor.

    Stop talking if at all possible or minimze talk.

    I use hot tea with some honey. It soothes the throat. I also use Advil to medicate the throat.

    But i've used hot tea (Earl Grey Tea) and natural honey for years and it's helped.

    Gargle with hot water and salt where it hurts. It will dry out the bacteria soring up your throat. Worked since I was little;)
