I’ve had a sore throat since Thursday. Came on quite quickly but without any other symptoms so no cold, flu etc.
It’s gotten so bad today, painkillers aren’t even touching it 😭 I’m taking paracetamol and ibuprofen but it’s so painful I can barely swallow. I’m also getting pain in my throat when I turn my head which I assume is from swollen glands.
Are there any home remedies you lovely ladies could recommend? I’ve called out of hours GP but if it’s viral I’ll just have to wait for it to run it’s course but the though if spending more time in this much pain is horrible 😭😭😭
I’ve tried strepsils, iced water, gargling with warm salt water.......nothing is helping though.
Any words of wisdom would be gratefully appreciated!! X
