Answer #1

Do you have like antibiotics for it or some kind of medicine? If not then that could help a great deal. As for the soreness, try lemon tea with a bit of honey.

Answer #2

Antibiotics

Answer #3

For a soar throat I always use tea with lemon and honey in it. Then gargling with salt water helps to kill the bacteria. Lots of zinc helps to fight off infections, for soar throats I suck on zinc cough drops.

Answer #4

Another rather not so pleasant remedy unless you like lemons is to slice up a lemon and chew the slices whole …peel and all. The high concentration of vitamin C inside the peel has been known to even kill the onset of strep throat. And yes it does burn but you can follow that up with a spoonful of honey. I’d recommend brushing your teeth right after though, because chewing lemon and rind will also east away the enamel on your teeth. The other choices posted are less challenging to do but if it’s a bad infection and you want to get rid of it fast, it’s an option.
