I have a really sore throat, do I NEED to go to the doctors?!
Question: I have a really sore throat, do I NEED to go to the doctors?
I've had a really sore throat for the last 2 and a half days, and it hurts most when I swallow
i think it's just a virus though - but i'm not sure.
Do i really need to go to the doctors, or can i do anything at home to help the pain? x

Try a mixture of hot tea,lemon juice & honey.Go kind of heavy on the lemon juice.But not too much.
Yes you do. If it has been going on for 2 and a half days, it wants attention, it could develop into tonsillitis, especially since it's very sore, and you will nee antibiotics which need to be prescribed. In fact, it could be anything. Even if it was just a mere sore throat, it's better not to risk it and you will regret not going if it is something serious, and i'd doubt you'd regret going if it was nothing to panic about.
The alternative is that you go to a pharmacy, tell them your symptoms and see which medicine they can give you, that is also fine and should work. :) Also, get well soon. :)
Doctors can't always help with sore throats. But Yogi Throat Comfort Tea works wonders for a sore throat. I've tried sprays, medicine, etc. and nothing else works as well as that tea. Check out this blog about it: http://want-2-b-healthy.blogspot.com/201…
No, you don't need the doctor. Visit a pharmacy and ask the pharmacist for advice on products that help. There are throat tablets available with mild anaesthetics just for your type of symptoms.
See a doctor please! They can really help!
you should go to doctor.
