Coincidence: Fever and sore throat, hallmark symptoms of viral infection (which are common this season) are signs that you are getting a viral infection, and that you thought of it as you were playing football. Merely a coincidence. Fluids, rest, advil (ibuprofen) and best of luck!

REST: 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.
