Hi @laceyace With a severe sore throat it’s important to be checked for strep, especially if it’s accompanied by a fever. If you don’t have a doctor on call, today being a holiday, you might want to try urgent care at a local clinic near you. It’s easy to check for the closest Urgent Care or Walk In clinic with an online search.
In the meantime, you can try gargling with warm salt water rinses or take an analgesic such as Tylenol or Advil to reduce the pain.
Do you have other symptoms with this such as a fever, cough, body aches?
