A member asked:

I have had a sore throat since yesterday. it has a hollow feeling to it. what medication can i get?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

can or should? most of these are self healing viruses & simple pain lozenges are effective in aiding comfort while it passes. If you were exposed to strep it might need meds if you test positive, otherwise nothing specific is needed.
