My throat was sore when I woke up

What should I do? What if it's strep throat?

It's probably not strep, most likely just a viral infection. But if you're worried go see a doctor and have them do a swab.

Honey and lemon tea.

EDIT: You also might have the flu. It'll probably get worse as the days goes by.

Use your phone's LED and your bathroom mirror to look at the back of your throat. If it looks funky, go to a clinic.

I think I'll try the green tea with honey thing. It also might be what @Seyiku said. God I hope it's not strep!

Green Tea + Mint Leaf + Honey = Great remedy

I wake up like that sometimes. Its mostly because I slept with my mouth open and my throat got really dry. I usually drink orange juice or any other kind of juice. Maybe that will help?

When I feel I'm getting sick, I take a Coldeeze. It's like a throat lozenge only it has like honey and vitamins to prevent an incoming sickness.

drink tea with honey in it and don't eat foods that usually make you cough
