This sore throat really sucks. It seems to have progressed to my ear now, so razor blades in my ear and my throat when I swallow. Still negative though.
Edit. Thanks all, doctors appointment tomorrow morning sorted.
Anecdote, Betadine throat drops will cause vomit, avoid. Gargling dissolved aspirin might help.
That shit works but it's gross 😝
Get that checked at the doctor's if you haven't already, last thing you want is an infection wreaking unchecked havoc
Difflam have a throat numbing spray you can pick up just over the counter. If you're an asthmatic of having issues breathing it's not good for you though.
Gargle in salt water - 10% solution - might help a bit. But best to go see doctor - might be anything from tonsillitis to an abcess. Does sound like an infection - at least to me.
