I've discovered today that I have a sore throat (i.e. common cold) and with it came a temporary bout of labyrinthitis (kind of like a nauseous, drunken, forgetful feeling mixed with an ear infection).

Since all of the "how do I get rid of a sore throat" answers contradict each other, I thought I'd ask this again but with added details.

1. How do I get rid of a sore throat or, at least, numb the razor-like pain?

2. I have been given medication for the nauseous feeling; are there any alternative methods to top up the relief a bit more (I have an exam tomorrow so I'll need to be 100%, if not, 90%)?

Thank you so much in advance xxx
 
For your sore throat - first, I hope you got a culture done to rule out Strep?
For the pain, I find that Ibuprofen is best for that. Take whatever is your appropriate dose, as often as the label says.
You can get a throat numbing spray that will work for a while, until the Ibuprofen kicks in.
You could try some wrist bands for "motion sickness" - usually available at the pharmacy - for the sick feeling. I don't find them to be very effective, but I have heard that some people do. (also supposed to be good for morning sickness when pregnant)
Good luck on your test - hope you are feeling better!
