Chamomile tea with honey and lemon, gargling with water and salt, but nothing helps my sore throat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eval: For significant sore throat with swollen tonsils / lymph nodes – see physician & get a streph throat test. Consider making tea with 2 tsp of marshmallow root bark per 1cup of hot water (steep in a covered pot for at least 5 minutes). Drink several times a day or as needed to relieve throat pain.
