Hi and thanks for the query,
You can take any pain killer after checking the dosage.
Do salt water gargling 4 times daily.
Drink lots of warm fluids.
You can apply anaesthetic jelly to the sores to dull the pain. I dont know if they are available over the counter
These infections are usually viral and go away in 5 days, if you do not feel better in the next 3 days then please visit a doctor because you may need antibiotics.
Regards,
Dr Rajkishori.
