Pharyngitis causes inflammation in your throat so getting a steroid shot will definitely help. Don't feel like going to the doctor? Try drinking real lemonade or lemon tea. Also try boiling a pot of water with some lemon juice in it, and inhale the steam from it. This will give you immediate, but temporary relief.

(Strep throat) Allergic and viral sore throats usually resolve on their own within a few days. However, bacterial infections require a prescription for antibiotics such as penicillin, azithromyocin or quinolones depending on the kind of infection you may have. This usually requires an encounter with a physician. Over the counter remedies such as decongestants will provide symptomatic relief but will not cure the infection.
