Throat problems.: For significant sore throat with swollen tonsils / lymph nodes – see physician & get a strep throat test/ culture. If you have Strep Throat, antibiotic therapy is imperative to prevent future complications. Consider Tylenol or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications. Saltwater gargles: Mix 1 tsp salt in 8 oz warm water – gargle several times a day. Watch for other sx's that could be C/W COVID

Try these things: Most are from viruses though occ. bacterial. In these times one should be concerned about COVID-19. The best treatments for viruses are herbal. Try propolis, a natural anti-microbial produced by bees, effective for bacteria and viruses including COVID-19; get a spray and do several sprays in throat every 2 hours while awake; also Andrographis tincture. If fever and swollen glands get a strep test.
