SORE THROAT SYMPTOMS:
Sore throat (pharyngitis) is very common. It is usually caused by an infection in the throat. Soreness ins the throat may be the only symptom. In addition, you may also have:

• A hoarse voice.
• A mild cough.
• A high temperature (fever).
• A headache.
• A feeling of wanting to be sick (nausea).
• Tiredness.
• Swollen glands in your neck.
• Pain when you swallow.

SORE THROAT CAUSES:
Sore throats are usually caused by viruses (like cold or flu) or from smoking. Very occasionally they can be caused by bacteria.

SORE THROAT TREATMENT:
To help soothe a sore throat and shorten how long it lasts you can:

• For sore throats the first things I nearly always advise to patients is to gargle warm salty water because it’s actually really effective, inexpensive and everyone can do it at home. Gargling warm salty water helps soothe the throat and reduce inflammation. Just dissolve half a teaspoon of salt in a glass of part cooled boiled water and gargle. It’s important not to swallow the salt water which its not suitable for children.

• Have enough fluids to avoid dehydration, I know it’s tempting not to drink much especially when it’s painful to swallow. But you can quite easily become dehydrated when your not well and may have a high temperature. Becoming dehydrated can make headaches and tiredness much worse and can even slow down recovery time. So aim for 6-8 glasses a day and try to avoid drinking hot drinks as they can actually make the sore throat pain worst.

• Paracetamol and ibuprofen, these pain killers are great at reducing sore throat pain and also reducing a fever. To keep sore throat symptoms at a minimum it’s best to take a dose at regular intervals as directed by your pharmacist or on the medication packet.

As always with all medication always read the information leaflet and speak to your pharmacist to make sure you are suitable to take it.

WHEN TO SEE YOUR DOCTOR:
See a GP if:
• Your sore throat doesn’t improve after a week
• You often get sore throats
• You’re worried about your sore throat
• You have a sore throat and a very high temperature, or you feel hot and shivery
• You have a weakened immune system – for example, because of diabetes or chemotherapy
• A severe or long-lasting sore throat could be something like strep throat (a bacterial throat infection)

Call 999 (Ambulance) if:
• You have difficulty swallowing or breathing
• You’re drooling
• You’re making a high-pitched sound as you breathe (called stridor)
• Your symptoms are severe and getting worse quickly

These symptoms can make breathing more difficult.

Now fever, body rash, chills, severe headache. This group of symptoms should generally talk about dengue. In dengue you have very high fever,you have extremely bad headache. In 9 out of 10 cases of dengue are distinguished by the prodrome. But the headache which accompanies the fever is much bad and the third thing you will see is that because dengue is also because of an organism that causes the blood vessels to burst it is a rash on the last part of your legs in which case that is one of the diagnostic clinchures for dengue. Now dengue is again something which is dealt with very easily in homeopathy because it is an infestation of a particular organism and that infestation can be avoided if the body is strong enough or if the immunity levels are very high the body will be able to ward it off. A family of 5 people,2 get dengue and the other 3 escape whereas the mosquito has been in the common area. It is basically because those 3 people have been able to fight the disorder with their immune cell reaction and that’s what we achieve in homeopathy, but for dengue the first and foremost thing is please avoid mosquitoes, second try and having a protective covering always so that you are not bitten by any kind of mosquitoes, even if there are any. Third is rehydrate yourself very well, drink a lot of water. Four, keep the fever down so that there is less of protein breakdown in the body and fifith, inspite of not feeling like doing it, please eat well so that you are able to get out of this condition without having any long term impacts. Medicines like china. Medicines like arsenic in homeopathy, they have excellent results in this condition.
