sore throat: For significant sore throat with swollen tonsils / lymph nodes – see physician ; get a strep throat test/ culture. If you have strep throat, antibiotic therapy is imperative to prevent future complications. Consider tylenol (acetaminophen) or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications. Saltwater gargles: mix 1 tsp salt in 8 oz warm water – gargle several times a day. Or gargle with aloe vera juice twice a day.

I got a cold 2 days ago and got a sore throat. This morning my throat felt better and progressed to runny nose and cough instead. So I talked on the phone for 2 hrs and now an even worse sore throat is back. Voice half gone. Will it heal?
