Severe Sore Throat

[buffymad]

Hi, what's the best thing to get over the counter for a severe sore throat? I've got flu symptoms but it actually makes me wince every time I swallow coz its that painful. Also kills when I sneeze so it's pretty much all the time! Chemist gave me Tyrozetts which help a bit but once they've dissolved, the pain comes back! Any recommendations for something that might ease the pain?
