Influenza ; other : Viruses are active this time of year.I f you have significantly sore throat w swollen tonsils / lymph nodes – see 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.
