gargle salt water and or peroxide {these will help kill the germs and viruses}, drink orange juice, or something high in vitamin C, suck on some "sucrets" {they are thraot lozengers}, buy a bottle of "chloraseptic" {it is a sore throat spray}, start taking vitamins, vitamins and anything with high amounts of vitamin C with help your body fight the virus, but if i was you, and it continues to be bad, or gets worse, you need to go to doctor and have a quick test done to confirm that you don't have strept throat,or the H1N1 virus {swine flu} as these both are very contagious!!!! becouse ya don't want to keep getting everyone sick, especially kids, and especially since the swine flu or the H1N1 is going around spreading everywhere.

good luck, hope this helps, and hope ya feel better....................................

no peroxide is not harsh, just so ya know, taste like crap, DO NOT SWALLOW IT!!! but it is not harsh at all, many dentist's recomend to gargle with peroxide, my mother does it on a regular basis, it does not hurt to swallow very small residuals in mouth but not the whole mouth full, definatley rinse ur mouth out after using peroxide, but it does not hurt at all to gargle with it, it definatly helps to kill many germs in the mouth, so i understand ur concern about gargling with it, but again no it is not o harsh, and many dentist recomend it, pick up the phone, call any dentist office, and just ask them

Hot lemon water and ginger is right on.peroxide can be harsh if not use right!!! But take.A look is there white pockets or does it look like a banoons but? Call the doc. could be looking at strep or tonsal litus. Oh and you mite avoid the whiskey alcohol can weaken the amunity.
