Sore throat: You can try to gargle with a 50/50 mixture of liquid Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and maalox. If not allergic, you can take ibuprofen. Drink plenty of fluids.

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 with aloe vera juice twice a day. Gargle several times a day.
