A member asked:
Swabbed; viral sore throat: back of mouth as far as tongue reaches. very painful, hard to even swallow saliva. any home remedies to reduce pain?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Painful sore throat: Maybe retro pharyngeal abscess if it is that painful that you can't swallow your saliva. You should be re-evaluated immediately!

Several: There are several things you can try. Honey is often soothing to the throat. Over the counter things you can try are chloraseptic spray and ibuprofen or tylenol. Throat lozenges sometimes help as well.
