Sore Throat, Difficulty Swallowing, Chills, Body Pain, Headaches. Treatment For Symptoms?
I have been experiencing painful, sore throat--it feels like it s raw. I can t hardly swallow anything and if I drink hot tea--it would burn like fire. I have chills and then I get hot. I took my temperature and it s been fluctuating from 97-98.1 degrees. I have swollen glands--looks like my throat is swollen from the outside. I have body aches and mild headaches .

Hello Friend,
I am Dr Jignesh . I read Ur query.
It Seems to be all symptoms are of Tonsillitis Or URTI.
U have to do is :
- Salt water gargling 3-4 times a day.
- Avoid Cold Drinks & water
- Avoid Oily Junk foods
- Take Medicated Gargles from Medical store after consulting Ur nearby Physician/Doctor.
Proper antibiotics & anti- fever treatment would be sufficient with pain killer drugs.
