Sudden and severe sore throat. no other symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Viral?: If you have just started getting the sore throat, drink lots of fluids and take an ibuprofen. Rest, chill out, be quiet. Some people find salt water gargle to be helpful. See your doctor of symptoms don't improve within a few hours, or you develop a high fever or significant trouble swallowing.
