@dramatic I've had something like that before, and every time I swallowed I about died. I kind of just braved it out and drank and ate when I had to, and thus it was good for loosing weight. xDD
But I do recommend honey-lemon tea.
You get warm water/tea, put in some honey, and put in some lemon. Lemon kills bacteria (and is a good deodorant (yeah I'm weird like that)) and honey coats the throat. Plus warm things are better than cold things.
But if it's serious, go to a doctor, girlie.

@dramatic
Lol, wikihow time.

[Cough if you feel you need to] Holding in the coughing makes it less easy to get rid of.

[Take a hot shower] The steam vapors help clear your sinuses, which usually are a cause of a sore throat.

Once you don't feel as bad as before, try to stay upright unless you're sleeping, because you'll find that it'll stop a lot of the congestion.

[Stay well rested] Sleep can help your body get stronger and fight the cold. Sleep more.

[Optional: Use a humidifier] It will help add moisture to your room.

@marinalily yeah not only does it hurt when I swallow, It tastes like puke xP. Last time I had this, I drank cold water with lemon in it. It helped sooooooooo much. I wince every time I swallow. In the place where I'm going on vacation I have a best friend who I haven't seen in a year, so I'm determined to get better. If i'm not somewhat better by tomorrow, my mom will probably take me to the doctor.

@dramatic Marshmallow are a wonder for sore throats, just have one in your mouth for awhile or so, you should start feeling better in a few hours or so.
Id also recommend taking them with a bit a honey 😸

@kisamari I don't have marshmallows. I just gargled some salt water and my throat feels a bit better already. I was feeling really nauseous last night but my mom's taking me to the doctor today.
