Too early to treat: Its too early to begin aggressive interventional treatment (not to mention expensive). Try fluids, rest and Ibuprofen for three days. If you're no bet ter by then, see your doctor.

Sore throat: For significantly sore throat w swollen tonsils / lymph nodes – see physician & get a strep throat test & culture. Antibiotics are imperative for Strep Throat. Try saltwater gargles. Mix 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 amt of lemon juice helps.
