Warm salty H2O: If you just have a sore throat, gargling with warm salty water and spitting it out will help. There are also antiseptic throat sprays available over the counter. If fever, severe pain or difficulty swallowing or handling saliva occur, seek medical attention. Thanks for trusting Health Tap!

Sore throat: It is important to find out the cause of your sore throat. If it is a strep throat and you are not allergic to Penicillin then you require an antibiotic, amoxicillin is generally used daily for 10 days. In general gargling with sally and water or an antiseptic will help keep you mouth and throat clean. Using Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Ibuprofen may help with the pain. There are many causes of a sore throat.
