Sore Throat
Most sore throats are due to a virus
infection and will get better within a
few days. You will often notice white
spots on the tonsils and swollen glands
in the neck when you have a sore throat
and there is a rise in temperature.
Treatment is with soluble aspirin in
water used as a gargle then swallowed.
Paracetamol medicine is better for
children. You can repeat this treatment
every four hours. Drink plenty even if
you don't feel like eating very much.
You should see your doctor if the
sore throat is getting worse after two
days or if there is earache as well.
