Try throat lozenges - especially those containing menthol, benzocaine or phenol, which will help numb the throat.

as many organic fresh berries in a blender as you can, blue berries, black berries, rasberries, strawberries, have very high antioxidents, and will help knock the strep out.

Mix vodka in with the OJ. You get all the benefits of vitamin C, plus the added bonus of vodka!
