A member asked:
I'm really sick and my throat is closing from being inflamed is it ok to take an aspirin to help the inflammation go down and nyquil to help my cough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Try: Warm salt water gargles or some ice chips. I prefer Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin for the pain. If it is difficult to swallow and your throat appears blocked you should see a doctor to confirm you do not have a peritonsillar abscess. Please see a doctor/urgent care /emergency room physician to rule these entities out.
