Try some halls and call a doctor, although they will just tell you to go to A pharmacy and get a cold medicine! use your common sense!

You can try to gargle with warm salt water or drink hot tea with honey. Make sure you get a lot of Vitamin C and Zinc.

Is this something different than the usual sore throat that you get when you get a cold? Sometimes, I, also, get sore throats when I am having really bad sinus problems, too. Usually, a sore throat is the sign that you are coming down with some sort of upper respiratory problem. But, if you have a swelling in the middle of your throat/neck, it might be your thyroid and you'd have to get it checked.

It could be a cold sneaking up on you. I know when I am about to catch a cold my throat is hit badly. But sometimes if you wake up with a sore throat, it may indicate that you were sleeping in a bad position and may have not been comfortably breathing. If the soreness does go away during the day then it could be that.. but if its persistent, it could be a cold creeping up!
