Ibuprofen: Believe it or not, taking 400 to 600 mg of Ibuprofen (swallowing them) with food, is as good as anything you can do for a sore throat. Hope you feel better!

Sore throat: If you have a significantly sore throat w swollen tonsils / lymph nodes – see your medical provider ; get a strep throat test ; culture. Saltwater gargles are helpful. Mix a 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 amount of lemon juice is good.
