Honey. Should help with the sore feeling and is also a cure.

If it's strep throat (white spots on your tonsils is a sign), then only antibiotics will help. And it will only get worse the longer you wait. Trust me, you don't want to hold off until the only option is getting a shot of Pen in the ass with an enormous needle, and a syringe of thick, chalky stuff. I screamed (literally) like a little girl. Don't be cheap, go to the doctors or ER, and have it looked at.

Time.

It's the only thing that is going to help if it's just a cold.

I've had a sore throat for over a month. :(
