A member asked:
The back of my tongue is white and my throat is kind of scratchy ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sore throat: Start gargling with warm salt water 2x/day. If there is post nasal drip, use nasal steroid like over the counter fluticasone or nasacort (triamcinolone) as directed. Call your doctor if no better or any worse in next 2-3 days
