Gargle some luke warm water with salt a few times, usually works for me. Is it just a sore throat? Or are there other symptoms?

Also, why, what to drink? Are you planning on hitting the pub?

Ditto on the warm water +salt gargles. Also, make your own honey and lemon hot drink, or warm ribena can be good too.

I hate sore throats. At least with a cold, it usually follows a normal timetable of 3 or 4 days, but sore throats are always a bit unpredictable, and more difficult to treat.

Cavonia is pretty good medicine I find.

cheers matt; did this 3 times yestewrday and woke up today and it feel s 90% fine so did in once more this morning; should be good to go for thye weekend.

@liquidfit; yes I am planning on hitting thye pub; off for a weekend away with uni mates so not being able to drink would have been a downer!

Will give the salt water thing a go two if time, although the soluble aspirin I guess is a similar idea but with aspirin in it hence making it better?
