hi,
i am a doctor..
For the time being, use salt water to gargle your throat.Do it 3 times per day.
when you goto sleep do it as the last thing so that you wont wash you mouth after the salt water gargle.
do some steam inahaltion.do it about 2 or 3 times per day.it would help.
take some hot water into a bowl.then cover you head with a towel and inhale the steam.
but you may have to take antibiotics if it is a bacterial infection.
the best thing is to get a throat swab culture and ABST done.
it would determine whether this bacterial or viral.consult your doctor for this..Amoxycillin 500mg 3 times per day for 5 days might help..
sometimes viruses cause skin rashes plus sore throat..
if its viral there may be no need to take anitbiotics. but you just cant sometimes differentiate from examination alone.
for the time being do the above mentioned things.
also avoid drinking cool things and drink more and more hot water and hot beverages.
but if it stay like this for about 5 more days despite what you do, go to a doctor and defnitely show him..
if you want further info, feel free to write to me..
sore throat
Don't know what your problem is. Anyhow, when I get a sore throat, I drink lemon juice, usually with hot tea or try gargling with salt water.
