Sore throat: This is likely viral. Most sore throat cases in adults are viral. I recommend pushing fluids (clear & lukewarm), doing lukewarm salt water gargles, 2-3 times/day, 15-20 seconds each. Taking Ibuprofen 800 mg up to 3 times/day with d food and using a numbing spray or lozenge may also help both your throat & the headache. Also, eat softer foods.

A sore throat, often accompanied by fever, headache, stomachache or rash, may indicate bacterial strep throat (streptococcal infection) and requires treatment with antibiotics to prevent complications..
