Make an appointment with your doctor, and if the pain is really that bad, go to casualty. Even though you have to wait, it'll be worth it to see someone about the pain.

TCP TCP TCP! I had a throat like that; gargling (i know its really not fun) with TCP makes it better really fast!

My mum who's a pharmacist has been recently informed a spout of sore throats has been going around. So watch out who you kiss :wink:!

sounds like tonsilitus. make sure you get to the doc, get diagnosed and get some antibiotics. You will feel better in about 3 days of taking the pills and resting a lot. make sure you finish the packet!!

Get some simple linctus, it doesn't cure it but it stops the pain for long enough to get to sleep.
