Buy some chloreseptic spray. It works well to take the pain away temporarily.
Eat a popsicle. I do not recommend hot liquids. Heat inflames. Warm drinks are for congestion in my opinion, not sore throats, but that’s just my opinion.
Take two Tylenol.
Do you have a fever? If not, your sore throat will likely go away in 24 hours, and then you’ll be dealing with the congestion within 12 hours after the soreness goes away, and then you can have your chicken soup and warm teas.
If it’s sore 72 hours or more go get a throat culture for strep. If you have a fever above 101 go get a throat culture for strep.
