Suggest Treatment For Severe Sore Throat While On Ibuprofen
My 21 yo son works in maintenance and was at work, painting inside a closed area for 6 hours. The outdoor temp was 98°F with 90% humidity. There was no air conditioning in the area he was working and temps reached 120°F. He currently has a severe sore throat. He is gargling with salt water 3x/day and taking 200mg ibuprofen every 6 hours with little improvement. Should we continue the current treatment as we try to rely on antibiotics as a last resort.
