Suggest Remedy For Sore Throat
I started with a cold two weeks ago. Most of my symptoms have subsided except my sore throat. The pain is almost unmanageable but I read that most tonsillitis is viral and they only treat the symptoms. How long should I wait to see if te symbtoms will pass or I need antibiotics?

hi,
if you have symptoms for more than 6 days you will need antibiotics preferably of the penicillin group.
