Very bad sore throat, any suggestions to help ease the pain ?

I have a Horrible sore throat, can't swallow. I am going to the dentist today for a decayed tooth, but this sore throat is so bad I can't sleep even if I take extra avil. It isn't strep. Any suggestions to get the pain down ? Chloroseptic didn't work at all !

warm salt water in a glass,Gargle in it a couple times a day.Warm chicken broth will sooth it sip on it all day.
Reply:This might sound kinda gross but it works for me. Get a small pot and fill it up halfway with water then when the water is boiling get an onion cut it in half and the cut that half in half not all the way to the tip. And when it's boiling turn the stove off and drink some off it. It would be best if you put sugar or honey in it that way it tastes better. It may smell bad but it smells worse than how it tastes.
Reply:The hot drinks work fine but the throat will be sore once the drink is gone. Try warm salt water gargles. The salt takes the soreness out of your throat. Put about a teaspoon of salt in 4-6oz. of warm water. Gargle until all the salt water is gone. You can do this usually twice and the soreness should be gone. Good luck.

Sore threats are horrible, but half of it is playing the waiting game, ice cream! it'll go down no problem.
