Question: SOAR throat, Not the type you get while you have a cold and cough!.!.!.
I'm currently in mexico visiting relatives and my family in the states in the are doctors!.!.!. so thats why I'm hoping the community here can help me!.!.!.
I have a soar throat, it hurts when i swallow anything, even saliva!. I do not have a fever, I feel completely normal minus the throat!. I've had this for about 4 days now but the pain was ignorable and i though it was just a overnight thing!. It got worse yesterday morning, but it went away and it DIDN"T HURT TO SOLLOW until late last night!. It's very painful, and I want to ask the community:
-How Long will this last!?
-I do have herpes (not Genital) is that contributing!? I read that it could be a factor but I didn't understand the text very well!.!.!.
-What can i do to speed up the process of healing!?
-what can i do to reduce the pain
-What is thecontribution to the soar throat

I know this can't be that uncommon, and what i've read it seems that it might be bacteria or a virus!.!.!.Maybe someone with a similar experience!.
thank you!.

Answers:
Try the following: Crush an aspirin tablet & dissolve in 4 ounces = 1/2 cup of hot water (since you're in Mexico you'll need to use boiling hot water)!. Wait until the boiling water cools!. Then gargle!. Do this whenever your throat begins to feel sore again for the next 24 hours!. Aspirin is an anti-inflammatory, so it should help calm your throat down!. Yes, tastes like crap, but it really does work!.

If after 24 hours, there is no marked improvement or the sore throat hasn't completely dissipated, you should see a doctor!. You may have a viral or bacterial throat infection!. A virus will run its course; all you can do is to treat the symptoms!. However, if it is bacterial (the doctor will take a throat culture to determine this), you may need prescription antibiotic!.

The white spots may not be indicative of herpes!. It's highly possible that you have strep throat!. If this is the case, strep is highly contagious!. Limit your contact with other people and see a doctor immediately!. For more information about strep throat see the following Web site:

It sounds like it might be Strep and the fact that you have herpes is adding to the discomfort!. As a home remedy just to reduce the pain swallow some honey and lemon juice about a tsp of both, then head home or find a local clinc/doctor so you can get some antibiotics!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Try gargling with some warm water and salt!.Or you can use Listerine !. If it gets worse see a doctor!. They do have doctors in Mexico you know!
The white spots are probably signs of strep throatWww@Answer-Health@Com
