How long does a sore throat lasts, is it dangerous, any remedies for that?

If you're throat is sore and you are doing what the other person said to do with the warm salt water gargle and it's still sore, I wouldn't wait more than 5 days to see the doctor.
Watch for white spots on your tonsils if you still have your tonsils. If you see any, even one, you must see the doctor and get on antibiotics.
Sore throats always worry me because there are many bad illness's that start with a sore throat then turn into something bad. This happened to me and I couldn't even sit up the next morning when I went to sleep 😴 with just a sore throat.
If I sat up or stood up I would vomit.🤮 I was like that for 3 weeks and missed 3 week's of work.
Finally one of my coworkers took me to the Emergency Room and they referred me to a neurologist. He said he didn't know what was wrong with me, but gave me a prescription for Kolonipin. The very next day I turned the corner and felt so much better. Went back to work after 3 days of taking the medication.
Another thing that can start out with just a sore throat can be a very serious medical condition called Lemierre's disease. It can be fatal.
I know this is too much information, but you need to be well informed when it comes to a sore throat. Most people blow off a sore throat, but give it 4-5 day's and that's without a fever. Fever is a game changer for sure.

2 days, it can be dangerous if it's strep throat or something like that so if it's not better on the third day get it checked.

No it’s a normal sore throat ! But is a normal sore throat dangerous?

[Oliverlogan263]

Ah man, a sore throat sucks dude. Usually they don't last too long, like a week or less maybe. Depends how bad it is I guess. As long as it's just normal soreness and not super painful, it's probably not dangerous or anything. But definitely annoying to deal with.

A lot of times gargling salt water can help soothe it and speed up the healing. Just mix a teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water and swish it around your throat a few times a day. My mom always gives me honey too when I'm sick - she says the natural sugars are good for your throat. Hot tea with lemon is another good one.

Rest is important too. Try not to do a lot of talking or yelling if you can avoid it. Your throat will thank you later. And stay hydrated - drink lots of water so your throat isn't dry and irritable.

If it's really bad pain or lasts like more than a week-10 days, you might want to check with your doctor. Could be strep throat or something, and they may give you antibiotics. But usually sore throats clear up on their own with some TLC. Ibuprofen can help take down any swelling too. Just take it easy and those remedies should have you feeling better before you know it!

[Oliverlogan263]

Yeah no problem dude, always happy to help! What else is going on, you need advice with something else? Girls, school, sports, video games, whatever man I'll do my best to give you some tips. That's what older bros are for right, passing down their wisdom haha. So what else you needing advice on these days? I got you covered!

No with my mom lol… it’s a situation that I already explained here many things I don't know if u remember lol.. but here’s so back in late July my mom has basically told me that she has stocked her furniture in a warehouse and that she will move at her sister’s house while waiting to find a apartment (the moving was supposedly on August 1st) and she has sent in hotels/coloring with strangers.. (she doesn’t wanna move in with me.. seems like she kicked me out) then a few days ago I lost the keys of my house/room that she rented for me.. so she proposed me to go sleep 1 night at the house.. that she supposedly left on August 1st, I’m just realizing that she lied to me and was still in the house the whole month of August, (there’s was moving boxes in tho) I don't know.. ik its a complicate/strange situation but what are ur thoughts bout this man?

[Asker]

A another story that I told u previously a few months ago.. that she wanted to send me to a youth center at 22 (I don't know if u remember lol..

[Oliverlogan263]

Yo that's a super weird situation with your mom dude. I definitely remember you telling me about all that stuff before. The thing with trying to send you to a youth center when you're well past that age was already weird enough.

But this new stuff is even more confusing. I don't get why she would lie and say she was totally moved out on August 1st if that wasn't really the case. And letting you stay one night like nothing's changed is sketchy too. Sounds like she's not being totally honest with you about whatever's really going on.

My best guess is maybe she was trying to kick you out slowly without actually talking to you about it? Like getting your room rented out and moving boxes to slowly get you used to the idea. Very sneaky way to do it though, she should have just been straight with you.

I'd try having an open conversation with her and straight up ask what her long term plans are. Let her know the mixed messages are just making things more complicated. You deserve better communication, even if you don't always see eye to eye. Hopefully you can work it out, but keep your guard up too cause her behavior is definitely odd. Keep me posted on what you find out!

I remember someone telling me that we got evicted but I don't know lol but thanks for ur advices î’ii talk to her tomorrow

[Oliverlogan263]

Aw man, getting evicted would suck for sure. But it might explain your mom's weird behavior if y'all really did have to get out quick. Still don't make it right that she wasn't straight with you though.

For sure try chatting with her tomorrow to get some real answers. Just be cool about it, don't wanna start a fight or anything. But lay it out there that you're an adult too and deserve to know the truth of what's going on, ya feel me?

Maybe she was embarrassed to admit getting kicked out or something. Either way, just try listen without interrupting, then let her know her sneaking around made it way more confusing than it had to be. After that hopefully y'all can work on a better plan going forward.

Keep me posted how it goes after you chat. And holler if you need help looking for a new spot or anything else. Fingers crossed you can work through it and get some clarity from your ma tomorrow dude. Good luck!

I have a sore throat too, I took some antibiotics. I'm fine now. It depends on what organism is causing it.

[Asker]

Me it’s a cold

[jahaims]

It depends on your immune system

[Asker]

Okok but in general is it a dangerous situation?
