I have an absolutely raging sore throat...I have tried everything I can think of to relieve the pain...Tylenol, honey, throat lozenges, gargling salt water, hot tea, cold water...nothing is helping :( During the day, it doesn't seem to bother me, but as soon as I lay down to try to sleep, the pain intensifies. Any ideas on what else to try?!

No alcohol :( Plus, I don't think my liver would like me very much...I don't think you're supposed to mix Tylenol with alcohol

My mom would have us gargle with warm water and salt.

 Is it heartburn? The first time I ever got heartburn I had this nasty feeling in my throat for 3 hours, and a little into my chest. Took a couple Tums, and was all better.

And my boyfriend says to try: get a bowl of water with honey in it heated to right before boiling, then get a towel dampened with warm water, put the towel over your head while leaning over the bowl to concentrate the honey/water steam to your face.

 A vaporizer or humidifier might alleviate your sore throat. You might also try placing a slice of lemon in your mouth. The lemon acts as a stimulant to your salivary glands and prompts your body to produce more saliva. More saliva will moisten the dryness of your throat. But be cautious, because the lemon acids might exasperate your condition.

Hot water, honey, wiskey, lemon. Stir in a cup and enjoy.

hydrogen peroxide and a little water and gargle but DONT swallow. Warm NOT hot tea mixed with lemon and honey.
