I have a bit of a sore throat... Why?

Question

I have a little bit of drainage in my throat, and the pain is minor, do I have the beginning of a cold? If so, will airborn help stop the cold?

Is it possible I have the beginnings of Strep??

(Remember the pain can only be felt when I swallow)

Answer 1

you should quit smoking pole

Answer 2

Sure, it could be a cold, strep, allergies, irritation from sharp or spicy food, a minor burn from hot food, or a variety of other things. If it is strep you will become much sicker and need a doctor. Most of the others should pass on their own. Drink lots of water, eat healthy food, take vitamin C. rest up. Feel better.

Answer 3

I would get some Zicam. It's possible it's just allergies as well, but most likely a cold. I doubt it's Strep, I usually get tonsillitis once a year and I rarely get strep even with my throat and tonsils being that bad.

Answer 4

sounds a little like a sinus infection to me, just guessing by my own personal experience....could be strep, have you asked around to see if its in your community?

i dont know much about Airborn...i would suggest get some vitamin C drops, the ones that look like a candy...take a steamy shower, use a humidifier and take it easy...

Answer 5

At this time of year it is most likely sinus drainage. Just gargle w/some salt water, take some tylenol or motrin. Drink plenty of water and juices. You should be fine...

Answer 6

Could be strep throat or allergies. Is your throat white in color and are there bumps on the back of your tongue? I f that is the case you probably have strep throat.

Answer 7

Sounds like sinus drainage to me..try gargling with warm salt water.

Answer 8

Sounds like you are in the process of a cold try using medication early so you wont be to sick later in the road
