• Inflamed or swollen tonsils, often with the presence of white deposits,
• inflammation or swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck,

Throat lozenges or sprays containing ingredients such as menthol, eucalyptus, or benzocaine can help relieve a sore throat while refreshing the airways. Breathing in cold air can also help reduce swelling in the throat and relieve pain. Using a humidifier or simply humidifying the air in the room also helps alleviate angina symptoms.

Resting and avoiding excessive talking or coughing is essential, which can irritate an inflamed throat. It is also essential to stay well hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids. If the sore throat is severe, you can take painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen or paracetamol according to the instructions on the package.
