I think i have strep. My throat is absoultely killing me (not covid, i already had it) and so is my head. I don't need some essential oil facebook mom cures, just like... temporary relief. Again, this is a relief thing, not a cure with vitamins pyramid scheme situation.

Green tea with a spoonful of honey. This should soothe your throat enough. You might also look into OTC nazal sprays (the nose and throat are connected) as well as antihistamines. It IS springtime, after all lol

I'd recommend going to a doctor if it persists. Last year I developed a sinus infection that moved into my chest because I felt it "wasn't bad enough" :/ Also, while this might not be covid, just because you've had it once doesn't mean you won't get it again. Please take care of yourself!

peach tea with honey! or just tea in general, without sugar though. try to limit how much sugar you're eating cus it can irritate your throat more, thats what my parents said lol. and lots of water too, you can get really dehydrated if u have a sore throat cus u dont end up drinking enough

theres lots of remedies out there that involve chopping up and swallowing garlic or another vegetable, DO NOT DO THIS DO NOT FOLLOW THEM my dad did and had to go to the hospital because chunks blocked his throat. stick to soothing liquids that are low on spice and acid.
