My throat hurts really badly, But I dont want to go to the doctors just yet..?
On the TV, right before I went to call my doctor, there was a program about the over use of antibiotics.
One thing that they said is that most sore throats are caused by a virus, and of course – being a virus – will not be treated by antibiotics.
How long would it take for a virus to leave my sistem(about) I want to try to wait a few days. If I feel better I wont go to the doctors at all, and if i feel the same/am getting worse – i’ll go. But just how many days should I wait?
and in the mean time, what can I do for relief?
most viruses take 10-14 days to clear out completely but you should start to feel better within 3-4 days.
for relief
-use a warm mist humidifier in your room at nite while you sleep. this will help keep the air moist and prevent your throat from becoming more dry and irritated
-suck on hard candies or ice
-gargle with warm salt water (2tsp to 8oz water)
-drink warm tea w/honey. avoid lemon b/c the acid could irritate your throat more
-take ibuprofen for pain (if not allergic to it). take 200-400mg every 6 hours as needed but no more than 1200mg in 24 hours.
bacterial throat infection is commonly referred to as strep throat and it does require antibiotics to treat it. symptoms for that are
-extremely red and swollen throat
-not able to eat,drink or even breathe without severe throat pain
-white patches are visible on back of the throat
-fever (usually high 102.0 or more)
-in severe cases, nausea and vomiting are sometimes present b/c the bacteria travels down the throat and into the stomach, causing upset.
if you have any of these symptoms make an appt to see your dr at once.
hope you feel better soon
