How to heal sore throat quickly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ibuprofen: It depends on the cause of sore throat. Many times it is a virus, like with mono. Less likely a bacteria, such as with strep throat. Ibuprofen can help with the pain and inflammation. Throat lozenges can also help. If it is one-sided or very persistent, consider having it looked at for directed treatment. Good luck!
