Hi ever since Sunday my throat has been irritating me. At first i just thought i was losing my voice but now its sore. it really hurts to swallow and also my neck is killing me! If you could tell me how to treat it (i've had a thousand cough drops and even gargled hot salt water) that would be great. Oh, and is it true that youre not supposed to have any cold drinks with a sore throat? Thanks for your time-- Jhanal
