How can i get rid of swallowing difficulties that occur with strep throat??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gargling with a salty brine solution will often strip some of the dead skin layers adding to strep pain. Spit out the solution after. Simple throat sprays are also available OTC that provide some numbing effect in painful areas.
