Sore Throat

My sore throat is killing me. I had it for 2 days now. It's very hard to swallow solid foods so I ended up losing 2 pounds. I ate soup almost every day and it's driving me nuts. I kept looking for more foods to eat but I can't eat solid foods yet. I've been taking Vitamin C and garlic pills for days now which helps a bit. Today, I started drinking ginger tea and hopefully that will take care of the rest. Boy, it is terrible!
