Does anyone know if there is a very painful sore throat going the rounds? No temperature no feeling ill but shaking with the pain, it hit my husband suddenly today.
I had one in the run up to & over Christmas. No other symptoms but OH MY GOD was my throat sore!!! I gargled with salt water ever couple of hours and it really helped. Hope your husband feels better soon!
Gargle with salt water, that will kill any infection. (Boil water, add loads of salt and let it cool, or add some cold water. Do not swallow!!) I had this and it became pleurisy. Are his tonsills swollen or very red? I would get a Doc to check it out anyway.
Sounds like a strep throat.Agony to swallow with jagging pain in ear?The advice you have been given is sound - have you tried lookin to see if there are pockets of pus at the back of the throat.That would indicate an infection and might require antibiotics.Hope he feels better soon - it truly is agonising.
