What's the best way to cure or relieve a very dry and scratchy throat?I've been sick for almost 4 days now. It's mostly nausea and LOTS of coughing. Whenever I breathe, the back part of my throat (Near where my tonsils used to be.) gets really dry and I start coughing uncontrollably. Any suggestions?

Make a solution of salt and warm water and gargle with it. The relief is temporary, but it does help.

Honey has long been used as a sore throat remedy. It has antibacterial properties which can help heal it faster. It also draws water out of inflamed tissue. It reduces the swelling and discomfort. Add several teaspoons to 1 cup of hot water or herbal tea. You can also put honey in hot lemonade, it relieves the pain. Try taking vitamin C three times a day. It will help boost your immune system and fight off the infection.
Feel better!

You can't cure your throat, but to relieve the pain (temporarily) the best fix is to gargle with warm salt water.
Cepacol lozenges are also very good for a very sore throat, but you shouldn't take more than four a day, you can fill the gaps with the salt water rinse and take ibuprofen as well, it will help with pain and even a bit with swelling.
Some doctors do recommend cough medicine and some do not. A productive cough (you cough up phlegm) is annoying but suppressing it can create prime conditions for pneumonia. If you are going to use a preparation for coughing, make sure you know what else is in it (for instance, if one has a pain reliever in it, you should be aware so you don't take a double dose.) Try Delsym syrup, along with cepacol lozenges, salt water gargling and ibuprofen. And get plenty of rest. And if you are nauseated, make sure you can eat before/when you take the ibuprofen or drink some milk or eat yogurt, or else skip it, because it can further irritate your stomach. Ny Quil will help you to sleep at night if the coughing is keeping you awake.
