Hello Ma'am,

The best thing to do is to calculate your modified center score (https://www.inesss.qc.ca/fileadmin/doc/CDM/UsageOptimal/Guides-serieI/Guide-PharyngiteAmygdalite.pdf, page 2).

If your score is 3 and above, we'll consult!"

So, time will work things out. In the meantime, we avoid irritating foods, and take Tylenol as needed for pain.

Happy day,

Alexander

I worked as a pharmacist in the emergency department of the Granby Hospital for 6 years before dedicating myself to Ask your Pharmacist. I completed my education in telehealth at Jefferson University in Philadelphia and are recently completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Health Informatics at Université de Sherbrooke.
