VIII. Read then choose the correct answer
Most sore throats are caused by an infection which treatment with antibiotics cannot cure. But with
simple remedies the patient normally gets better in 4 or 5 days. Tonsillitis, however, usually starts with a sore
throat which causes pain on swallowing. With children - and some adults - there may be a fever and the
patient is obviously not feeling well. It may be possible to see white spots on the back of the throat. The neck
may also swell, both of which are the normal response to infection. Sometimes a sore throat may occur with
the common cold and with influenza. There may be dryness of the throat, pain on coughing and loss of
voice. For treatment, patients should take aspirin To help relieve the pain on swallowing and (if there is one)
the fever. Use tablets dissolved in water so that the patient can gargle before swallowing. Repeat the
treatment every 4 hours. The patient is encouraged to drink plenty. Food should not be forced on a patient
who does not want to eat. If there is pain in the throat on coughing, breathing in steam may help. See the
doctor if the sore throat is still getting worse after two days or if the patient complaints of earache and
increasing fever
