@lidnaj It is this is the second time I have had it . From previous I do the rinse,s as Becky says and also a diluted peroxide rinse ,followed by the baking soda then honey so far today this seems to be helping . Also my throat on the one side is sore so gargling will help that . Im going to try the L Lysine the Dr told me about to see if that will help . You also rest tonight
