Pharyngitis: This could be either viral or bacterial. If it's viral then the treatment is rest and vitamin c. If it's bacterial then u will need antibiotics. To cut the fever tylenol (acetaminophen) or advil will work.

Gargle: For significant sore throat with swollen tonsils / lymph nodes – see physician & get streph throat test. Consider tylenol (acetaminophen) or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications. Saltwater gargles: mix 1 tsp salt in 8 oz warm water – gargle several times a day. Or gargle with aloe vera juice twice a day. Add honey & a small amt. Of lemon juice to chamomile tea. . Add 2 to 3 tbs honey & sip. Try thyme tea.
