Had sore throat for 2 weeks?

See a doctor: Without a full history, exam and possible a rapid strep test it is difficult to make a diagnosis, but that is too long to have a sore throat without finding out what is causing it. Good luck.

Sore throat: If you have a significantly sore throat w swollen tonsils / lymph nodes – see your medical provider ; get a strep throat test ; culture. Saltwater gargles are helpful. Mix a 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 amount of lemon juice is good.
