Accepted Answer

Pass on expired meds: For significantly sore throat w swollen tonsils / lymph nodes – see physician ; get a strep throat test ; culture. Antibiotics are imperative for strep throat.  Try saltwater gargles. Mix tsp of salt in 8 oz of warm water – gargle w this several times/day. You can gargle w aloe vera juice a couple of times per day. A mix of chamomile tea w honey ; a small amt of lemon juice helps.

Question 7

is lidocaine viscous used as a gargle good for treating a sore throat?

Accepted Answer

: We only recommend it for severe oropharyngeal pain and pain with swallowing (odynophagia) in certain conditions. Yes, it works well but your mouth is completely numb with the solution. Common OTC analgesics such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, etc., are usually used first. Antibiotic treatment for the cause such as strep throat infection is effective for inflammatory/pain alleviation.
