Suggest Home Remedies For Throat Infection
Hi, I'm 19 and I think I may have a throat infection. For the past four nights, when I sleep in the night I wake up before the end of the night due to pains when I try to swallow. The situation seems to be getting worst since i now get the pain throughout the day as well and I am wondering if I should visit the Doctor. I also feel a bumpy surface at the back of my tongue which might be the cause of the pain. Are there any home remedies which I can try or is it a situation for the Doctor?

3)after brushing ur teeth scrape ur tongue nicely(tongue harbors millions of microbes harmful to throat).
