Experiencing Fever, Coated Tonsil Sore And Swollen Taste Buds On Tongue
Fever for a day. One tonsil sore and coated. Swollen tasted buds on that side of the tongue. A little painful for a week, but I haven't done anything about it, yet. This followed a couple days of fighting off a cold a five year old shared with me. Wait it out? I don't know if gargling will irritate things or not.
