I can't stand tea! Any type of tea! So that won't help me! I will call the doctor tomorrow! I'm so sick of this! I have never had a sore throat last this long before!

Go to the chemist in the morning and pick up some throat tablets. You can also get antispectic spray for sore throats, which works wonders for me.
If it continues for over a week, you might want to go see your doctor as you could possibly have an infection that you might need antibiotics or some other medication to clear it up.
Apparently, gargling salt can reduce the pain of a sore throat, but I am not sure if this is true or just an old wives tale.

I have tried throat tablets and antispectic spray. It only helps for a few minutes! I could have strep throat or my sinus's are cousing the sor throat! What ever the reason it isn't getting better and I plan to call the doctor tomorrow! I'm so sick of this!

The first things i do is gargle with warm water in which i add teaspoon of salt.Some doctors offer a lotion to be added to warm water and you can gargle with that.I take 10ml of cough syrup after gargling.If the cough is very severe i take a cough lozenge.And as my predecessor said don't talk much.Drink water at room temperature and not cold water.If this doesn't work i see a doctor.
