A member asked:
Had swollen glands and inflamed throat. seems better today. sucking soothers to help dry mouth. does that mean it's getting better. was on antibiotics?

Probably yes: If it feels better, undoubtedly it indeed is clearing up. Complete your antibiotic as it was prescribed. Don't stop early even if your symptoms clear up entirely, unless your doctor says otherwise.
