a salt water (1 glass warm water dissolve 1 table spoon salt) gargle at least twice a day.
is there anything i can do/take to help heal my sore throat? . the right side of my throat has been swollen and sore for over 2 weeks. i went to the er they said it was just viral pharyngitis but did a strep test anyway and it came back negative. it started to get better but now today my throat is completely swollen (still only on the right side) like you can't even see the opening on that side and it's difficult for me to eat drink and to talk because of the pain and my words are all slurred. i've been taking 600 ibuprofen for pain every 6-8 hours.
