Tea & honey. But watch how you feel - I know of at least 3 people in different parts of the country who got strep. THere's somethign nasty floating around right now. Both of these friends got to the point where they got anti-biotics & a painkiller like codeine / tylenol3 or vicadins.
Gargle salt water

Yeah and that's a problem we don't need!
Hot lemonade, strong as you can drink it, hot as you can drink it, sweetened with honey, that's an immediate fix. Stuff will even fix laryngitis (temporarily).Miss24k said:
Elderberry to boost your immune system and try to beat it off, 3 capsules every four hours until you get better or sicker.

going to play sponge bob square pants monopoly with the kids soon and watch The grunge 2 when the girls go to bed. PARTY ON LOL
Thanks ladies, I've been doing the salt water gargling thing, hurts like hell. Lots of nasty mucus in there. 
Also been drinking lots of hot tea, with lemon and honey. I haven't eaten today though, cause it hurts so damn much. I'm off to sleep now, hopefully it's better in the am.

How you feeling today?
See a Dr. 24K I am the worst for not doing that but when I saw the Dr. a few weeks ago he told me there is some seriously strong virus going around this year. If salt water etc has not helped my guess is strep (sp?) throat so see a Dr.
GO TO THE DR!!!! Don't make me come over thereMiss24k said:

Strep is accompanied by a high fever and no congestion. If there is congestion, it is very unlikely it is Strep. I should know .... my disease-infested students give it to me at least once a year.
But I still second the doctor thing. If you have no change in symptoms for more than 3-4 days, go to the doctor. I wish I would have done that weeks ago.

if you can manage to get it down and keep it down try chicken broth with a crap load of garlic like a couple cloves
and drink orange juice
garlic boosts your immune system so does the vitamin c in the oj
chicken broth has also been proven to lessen the amount of time you r sick
id do the salt gargling also
get well soon

The chicken broth with garlic is a good idea actually sounds tastey too.

What Daisy_Girl and Jenscats say, seriously.Daisy_Girl said:Strep is accompanied by a high fever and no congestion. If there is congestion, it is very unlikely it is Strep. I should know .... my disease-infested students give it to me at least once a year.

I only do Herbals/home remedies, but that's me. I also am not out among people (one of the benefits of working from home, very little exposure to strange germs). If you're throat is extremely painful and has been so for more than a few days, that's not good.

Hi Ladies, that's for your support
Still not feeling well, throat is feeling better, but not good. I've been going the salt in water thing. I went to see the doctor yesterday he said I caught a nasty virus, so just rest and do what you ladies told me. Only thing I've been able to eat is chicken soup and crackers. Tried eating a 1/2 a protein bar today and well that didn't go over well, I didn't vomit but felt like it for the whole day. I can't stand to look at food, especially meat.
My diet is going real well, lol.

I don't know if you can find this locally, but I'm told it's good for viral infections.
