What Causes Difficulty In Swallowing Saliva?
Hi, Your symptoms can be related to a strep infection. But, I would recommend doing the throat culture before taking the antibiotics. Meanwhile, I would suggest taking the anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen. I also recommend using throat spray for antibacterial properties. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
