A member asked:
I have a sore throat and difficulty swallowing what's the best thing to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Supportive care: Supportive care for a sore throat would generally consist of using over the counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen (available in tablets or liquid form-check the children's section) and cool soft fluids and foods. Prolonged or progressive symptoms should be evaluated in a medical facility (primary care provider).
