You are just masking your symptoms. There is no home remedy for strep and if it is strep and you don't get antibiotics, it could lead to upper respitory trouble and even death. Stop foolin around and get to the docs
Gargling can be of great help
gargle with any of these
salt water
betadine (povidone iodine) gargles
2-3drops of dettol in a glass of water
Take continous small sips of hot water
here are some
Over the counter homeo remedies

try drinking a mixture of equil parts honey and apple cider vinegar, also gargle with apple cider vinager
if your breath smells like poo then you have it, if not then you dont. gargle with your doctor.
If you have a cough and don't have a fever then it is likely not strep throat so home remedies like gargling with salt water, motrin, cough candies are ok.
If it is really Strep (no cough, very bad pain in throat, swollen glands in neck, fever) you need to see your doctor as untreated Strep can cause high fever, seizures, brain damage, kidney damage and heart damage.
Grapefruit seed extract liquid - 10 drops in 6 oz of water. Gargle and swallow. Chase with a strongly flavored 100% juice, as the GSE is pretty strong tasting.
We use it for all sore throats, whether strep, tonsillitis or just cold related. Works like a charm. Find it at your local health food store, or online at http://www.iherb.com (not affiliated)
We don't bother to go to the doctor. GSE has worked every time to knock it out before it gets that bad. We've even waited a week to use it - first time - and it was amazing. Thought for sure we'd have to go to the doctor and suffer through another round of antibiotics that would make my son break out in hives.
You can also add hot mullein tea to the routine, with honey (which also helps with bacterial infections). Hot lemon tea will also help. Pineapple juice soothes a sore throat. But, the GSE should knock it out almost immediately. We've never had it fail us no matter the infection. We've stopped bothering to even go get the diagnosis, since we won't fill the prescription and the GSE has worked on them all.
DO NO refined sugars as they suppress the immune system. That means no sodas, white table sugar, high fructose corn syrup. The sugar in 100% natural juice is okay as is honey, molasses and turbinado. Moderation is still key though. As an alternative, you can use Stevia, a natural plant derivative which is super sweet. No artificial sweeteners either.
EDIT: Your added description sounds more like tonsillitis or yeast infection to me. GSE will still work wonders.
