MY COMMENT RELATES TO MY SORE THROAT THAT I HAD ONLY THE OTHER DAY. IT STARTED ON THE THURSDAY AND BY SUNDAY THE DISCOMFORT WAS ONLY JUST BEGINNING TO EASE. I FOUND THAT I COULD NOT EAT A FULL MEAL AS THE DISCOMFORT FELT WAS OUTWEIGHING THE NEED TO FINISH THE MEAL. I FOUND MYSELF GETTING REALLY TIRED BY SATURDAY AS THE PAIN WAS KEEPING ME UP AT NIGHT AS WELL. IT WOULD TAKE ME ALL OF 30 MINUTES TO DRINK MY FAVOURITE CUP OF TEA, BY WHICH TIME IT WAS COLD!!! I HAVE HAD PLENTY OF SORE THROATS IN MY LIFE TIME, BUT THIS ONE WAS A TOUCH MORE PAINFUL AND DISCOMFORTING THAN ANYTHING I HAD EVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE. WHEN YOU HEAR PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF A REALLY PAINFUL SORE THROAT YOU ASSUME IT IS LIKE EVERY OTHER, BUT BELEIVE ME IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED A REALLY BAD ONE YOU KNOW THE PAIN AND DISCOMFORT THAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.

Well in fact i completely agree 100% that there are a misuse of antibiotics in URIs , and the fact that those with high risk factors where ever mentioned are candidate for antibiotics use .
i am really a doctor i had a fascnating experience about the use of a medication called Solpadine effervescent , sorry if i did a mistake regarding the spelling of its name .
Any way this medicne composed of Paracetamole , codien , caffien .
Regarding odynophagya , that is a pinfull swallowing , as i had tired it on on my self and one patient , it will free you from the pain , so gargling it, here is the point , has a dramatic effect on pain , so it helps the patinet being free of the pain and easly eat or drink water as to prevent rehydration .
Thanks alot , i think it is worth trying .
with best regards .
yours Dr A

i agree 100% to all what has been mentioned above about the use of antibiotics .
But i have a fascinating experience with a medication called Solpadiene that is an effervescnet of Paracetamole , codien and caffien .
Due the effect of codien and to a littel extent of Paracetaomle , the pain with the swallowing i.e. called odynophyagia . will be reliefed 100% for about 2 to 3 hours .
When drinking a hot drink like tea as i guess it is the best .
or A caffineated drink will ameliorate the fatigue and give energy .
this as i have had tried it on Adult .
As being malpracticed , i do not knwo about its usage in peadiatric field .
Thanks alot .
Believe me it is worth trying .
If you have any suggestions , i am hungry for it

I am recovering from severe and acute tonsilitus / quinces and recommend seeking medical advice sooner rather than later when you get a bad sore throat. I thought I could deal with my "sore throat" by gargling with salt water or effervesant paracetamol, although it did help it certainly did not cure my problem. My throat contracted to such a degree that I could not swallow even saliva. The hospital prescribed strong liquid penicillin and this has eased the swelling and got the situation under control. Had I visited my doctor sooner it would have been possible to cure the situation with anti biotics - do not be a hero.
