sore muscle tips?

So the day before yesterday, I did my first attempts at squats. Based on the my body's reaction, you'd think I'd never used those muscles before in my life, because my legs are *still* sore. I tried taking a hot bath, but it didn't seem to do much. Does anyone have tips for alleviating the soreness, or do I just have to wait it out?
Also, should I try to do my normal workout, or wait until it lets up a bit?
