How Long Does Steroid Take To Treat Scratchy Throat?
about 5 weeks ago I really scratched my throat eating a dry tuna on toast sandwich. I have been to the ent and he prescribed a 5 day steroid pack which I finished about three days ago. I am still experiencing pain when I swallow on the right side and am wondering how long this will take to heal.
