I had the flu, and I have been better for about a week now... However, I have this crazy sore throat!?

It just won't quit! I don't know what the deal is. I had a tonsilectomy about 5 years ago, so that's not it... Does anyone have any good suggestions for relieving the pain?

I had a horrible cough, which is what I think triggered the sore throat to begin with. But, now the cough is pretty much gone...

Lots and lots of water or juice are great for increasing hydration to the body, it helps the body in it's inflammatory response.
If you really feel better and the only residual is a sore throat, use honey to help decrease the irritation. You can use a tablespoon at the time and don't have to worry about overdosing. Cough drops with numbing medicine may also help, use the kind you're most comfortable with. Take Tylenol/Advil as often as the directions indicate to help with the additional soreness.
I hope you feel better soon, God bless.

if a sore throat persists longer than 3 days with no improvement check with a doctor. its probably because of the cough but you could have strep which needs treatment.
