My throat started hurting about 5 hours ago, now I can barely swallow without intense pain on the left side. Water, Sprite, and now an apple are not helping. What the f?

Don't go to a doctor unless there is blood. If you have tea-tree oil, gargle with that or mix with water and spray in your throat. Otherwise gargle with warm salt water.

Have a small bowl of water and mix it up with some salt.
Drink half it and gurgle the other half.

Wtf? Strep doesn't cause blood, and you need a doctor to get an antibiotic. Unless you don't need your heart valves.

I had the same thing this winter and all that did any thing was coffee I hate it but the heat did some thing that made the pain go away for a while.. at least to get some sleep..

Mentholated losenges...or cigarettes. Whatever.

Strep isn't common in adults. It's also usually accompanied by other symptoms (fever, blablabla). And it's even less common for it to develop into rheumatic fever (which I assume is what you are referring to with the heart valve comment).

Well then the first advice should be to take his temperature? I mean, granted he's posting here, which implies it's not significant, but according to the OP it hurts so much he can "barely swallow".

Agreed. Most likely he'll be fine by tomorrow after some salt-water gargling though.

Anyways I'm going to bed, merry christmas to all and to all a good night.

Search the forums. This has been asked many times before.

I have no salt water. I'm stuck in a dorm room. Damnit. Even my tongue hurts to move.
