SORE THROAT – natural and home cures
Whether the sore throat is caused by a bacterial or viral infection it will usually disappear on its own within a week in an otherwise healthy person. Some of the symptoms include: pain when swallowing or talking, hoarseness, swollen red tonsils, a scratchy sensation or difficulty swallowing. A sore throat may also be accompanied by a fever, headache, body aches, cough, runny nose and nausea.
Strep throat symptoms include swollen lymph nodes in the neck, white patches on the tonsils, a red rash at the back of the throat, a fever and throat pain, especially when swallowing. In this case, visit a professional for further diagnosis
