So I have had a sore throat for like 2 weeks now, hurts when I swollow and sometimes its groggy and I cant talk well. Just wondering if there is something I can take or if I should go in and have it checked? I had my tonsels removed when I was little so I know its not that. But I dont know if there is something else it coudl be or what. Its all on the left side. Any ideas?

Do you have post nasal drip?  If you do...try the Neti Pot.  You can find it at a drugstore near the cough medicine.  It's all natural so you don't have to worry about any side effects.  It's slightly gross since it cleans out your sinuses but I swear it's the best invention ever.  I had a sore throat and a cough (due to allergies) for 3 MONTHS one fall and within 2 days of using that I was better.  I hope you're feeling better soon.
