1. Systemic viral infection

Patients with systemic viral infections require bed rest and take aspirin or aspirin substitutes to relieve discomfort and reduce fever. If there is no improvement within 48 hours, please go to the hospital for treatment.

2. Mumps

Mumps is a virus that infects the salivary glands. The virus may also infect other glands at the same time. People who have never had this disease should be especially careful. Patients with this condition are advised to rest in bed and take aspirin or aspirin substitutes to relieve discomfort. If your testicles are painful or swollen, it may be that your testicles are also inflamed. In this case, anti-inflammatory medications may be necessary.

3. Pharyngitis or tonsillitis

Both are caused by viral or bacterial infections. Take aspirin or aspirin substitutes to relieve symptoms, and avoid smoking and drinking. If symptoms persist for more than 48 hours, you should go to the hospital and the doctor may prescribe antibiotics. For some people with idiopathic tonsillitis and certain other symptoms, doctors may recommend tonsillectomy.

Some people like to drink some iced lemon, iced grapefruit, etc. when they have a sore throat! In fact, this is a very wrong practice. Although iced drinks can numb the pain for a short time! But afterwards, it will aggravate our condition. Therefore, please do not drink some iced drinks during the sore throat period!
