Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat At Night
I have had a VERY sore throat for ten days, no white patches, but very distinct white lines on both sides of throat. Had my tonsils out when I was a kid.....am now 55, in good general health, no smoking or drinking. The pain is much worse at night! Can you help me?

Hello
The white lines and the pain at night may be due to acid reflux from your stomach at night and i would like you to meet your doctor for discussing this and getting the medications. It is unlikely to be due to an infection, so you dont need antibiotics. Meanwhile i would like you to avoid hot and spicy food and take a light diet for dinner, It will help. Thanks
