I'm staying home from school because my throat is literally killing me. It's the feeling where if you open up your mouth it will just give you pain.

I don't really know any remedies to sore throats except maybe the salt and water gargle? Could anyone help me out on this?

You sound just like my mom.

Although I really do sympathize with how much your current situation sucks. Using a mirror or family member look into the back of your throat with a flashlight. If there is a white buildup on your tonsils/throat then I believe that suggests strep. Seriously might want to see a doctor since it could be symptoms of something very serious like bronchitis?

Strep can cause a lot of pain.

SO MAN UP AND ENJOY IT.

I suggest drinking some hot or at least decently warm tea, preferably with some honey.

At least for me it eases the throat (usually momentarily, sometimes entirely depending on how bad the condition is) and overall calms me down.

Heat some water until its almost boiling and add it to a glass with some honey, squeezed lemon juice, and a tablespoon of cider vinegar. Add enough honey until its sweet enough for you to drink. Does wonders for sore throats or tonsilitis.

honey worked out pretty well.
as well you can try taking a SMALL (stress this) pinch of salt and drop it on the back of your throat works like salt water cept you wont have to taste it if you drop it well

Only do something with salt if it's phlegm that's causing your sore throat.
Just keep drinking lots of water until you diagnose it.

Salt water works well, make it pretty concentrated and do it like 50 times a day.

Other than that just drink lots of lemon/honey tea

Salt water is very awesome for sore throats. It helps clear up sore throats and eased strep throat

Acidic stuff usually helps too.

Ok a few things-

Drink LOTS OF LIQUIDS. Your urine should be clear. If it is not, drink more.

Honey will help, so will chocolate- however your best bet is going to be hot liquids. (Tea, Hot cocoa ext.)

Anti inflammatory might do you some good. So if you have any around the house i would suggest that.

But i have some questions:

1. Do you have any congestion?
2. If you have any nasal snot what color is it
3. Do you have tonsils?
4. How long has this been going on?

I am going to school to be an NP so i might be able to help a bit.

Cayene Pepper(powder) with Orange Juice(Heavy Pulp) is basically an instant cure.

I take it as soon as I start getting one and then whenever my throat starts to itch. Sore throats used to make me hate life, but now they're no prob.

Edit: Unlike all these other solutions, this one is an instant cure. The pain will go away pretty much right away and you won't have to worry about it.

Don't gargle salt water, just drink it, works a shitload better

Let me make myself clearer: gargle, and swallow... so like you gargle it for like 30 seconds and then you swallow it instead of just chugging it

If it's really as bad as you're making it out to be in the original post, I second the people saying go see a doctor.

If you're exaggerating, a lot of the stuff suggested in this thread is pretty good, and also I've found aspirin to do pretty well on sore throats for me.

/seconded. I hear people recommend that a lot so I guess it does something. Hot water sucks though, i'd just keep icecubes in my mouth and try to breath in cold air.

Perform home amputation on one or more of your limbs, it will transfer your attention away from the pain in your throat, I guarantee it.
