    Well you can take some Motrin. It will reduce the fever and the anti inflammatory in it will relieve your sore throat symptoms. Advil will do the same. They sometimes actually give prescription pain meds for strep because it is painful dang it. Take something, dont sit and suffer needlessly.
    Motrin is my call, 800 mg. In an hour, you will thank me.

    Salt water is saline- your normal body fluid. It helps ease the inflammation of a sore throat.

    I literally gag with salt water. I can't even eat cucumbers that have been soaked in salt water. The smell literally makes me gag!! Hence the reason I don't gargle when I have a sore throat.
