Sore throat
Most sore throats are from a virus and get better in a few days.
When it's usually nothing
- Comes with runny nose or cough.
- Warm liquids, salt-water gargle, and rest help.
- You can still swallow water and eat something soft.
When to get checked
- Can't swallow saliva, drooling, or trouble breathing.
- High fever, white spots, or a rash — could be strep.
- One-sided severe pain with muffled voice.
Take a breath. Let's figure this out together.
