Suggest Treatment For Severe Sore Throat, Nausea And Vomiting
I started with a terrible sore throat, mainly at the back of my throat yesterday and then had vomiting 4 or 5 times through the day. The nausea is gone, but sore throat persists and I have no energy. Could this be strep, and if so, what do you recommend? Thank you,

Sore throat is due to burning of pharyngeal mucosa by acid reflux.
