Sore throat-what do you turn to?

[forgop]

Thanks for the tips...will try doing a couple of these tonight. Amazingly, it got a lot better today, but still is sore. At least the throat spray numbed it just a bit today. To think I was on the verge of going to urgent care last night, but didn't because they had already closed...

I don't think it was strep now as I never had a fever, but the other thing I did notice was a bit of pressure in my ears. Guessing it may be an ear infection. I remember a couple of years ago, my daughter came down with strep and I thought I came down with it, but it was an ear infection. That was strange.
