I have such a sore throat yesterday and today and I cannot drink water. I've tried to sip it, but it's just making me so sick and actually makes my throat worse. What should I do?

See a doctor. When that happened to me I had strep. Worry about your health first then go back to the diet.

Thanks for the quick reply, but it's not strep. I am definitely coming down with a cold and I always get a sore throat first.
So, I guess, just forget about drinking water then? Perhaps I will try some hot tea.

For me, it helps to drink chicken broth. The fat in the broth soothes my throat. Also, the water you are drinking is it ice cold? If not, try drinking it with alot of ice, if it is cold, should soothe the throat too. If that doesn't work, you could always try what my grandparents always told me, gargle with warm salt water.

Hope you feel better soon!
