Try hot foods! Like Hot Coco. Also, take Advil or Ibuprofen and a spray chloresceptic. The chloroseptic will help kill bacteria and make your throat feel better, the Advil/ibu will take down the inflammation. Good luck [: -- Posted by Live Just To Die at 11:22 am on Dec. 3, 2008 Drink lemon honey and hot water, mixed together. Soothes, suck some hard boiled sweets or a soother. -- Posted by mcrgrl9 at 11:24 am on Dec. 3, 2008 why is this under explicit? haha suck on a throat soother cherry works best for me hot tea
