Soft Foods: Soft and non spicy foods are easy to swallow. If pain is too much, then dissolve 500 mg tylenol (acetaminophen) in 2 tablespoonfuls of warm water and gargle with it 1/2 hour before eating.

I have had a sore throat about a month. It does hurt a bit when i laugh. I am able to eat and swallow and it doesn't hurt. I have had a strep test twice and nothing came of it. I have had 2 upper respitory colds in the nose and one time it was a fever.
