Sore Throat

So, I've had an excruciating sore throat all week. Went to the dr. today & sure enough....STREP THROAT! Sweet! I have no idea how I might have contracted this lovely illness. No one else in the fam has it, & I haven't been kissing any strangers lately :) What a great week for Matt to be working until 10 p.m. The kids can't seem to grasp the concept that they can't have a sip of my drink, or a bite of my food (which has been tomato soup every meal for the past 3 days) or they will get sick! I'm hoping they don't get it. Hopefully I'll feel better in a few days now that I've got meds! Anyone have any good sore throat remedies while I'm waiting??
