Sore Throats

Most sore throats are caused by virus infection which antibiotics cannot cure.  The sore throat will usually disappear in a few days.

What you can do:

•To help relieve the pain on swallowing and if there is a temperature, take regular painkillers such as paracetamol.
•Drink plenty of cold drinks.

ASPIRIN MUST NOT BE GIVEN TO CHILDREN UNDER 12 YEARS OF AGE

Consult your doctor if...

•You have severe problems swallowing
•You have severe breathing difficulties
•The problem lasts for more than three days
•You also have severe earache

•Your temperature rises above 38.6°C or 101°F
