I have had a sore throat for almost a week and it is shooting up to my ears. What should I do?

Good evening ma'am,

The only thing that can be tried without going to a doctor in a situation like what you describe is to use a product like Sinus Rinse™ twice a day in an effort to reduce as much mucus as possible in your nose. Indeed, it may be that what you are describing is related to mucus flowing from your nose into your throat and ears.

If this does not help relieve the symptoms in less than 3 days, I would recommend that you see a doctor.

For spikes in pain, I recommend taking Tylenol™.

Good evening,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
