It is usually not a very serious condition and will often dissapear in 3 - 7 days. I have many customers who wanted treatment for sore throat everyday. So, what are the treatment that is available ?

Antibiotics are usually not recommended as most sore throats are not caused by bacteria. Even if you have bacterial infection, antibiotic is still not the first choice according to the guideline as treating minor ailments with antibiotic will cause antibiotic to be less effective in more life-threatening conditions.

It is better to go to the doctor if your sore throat lasts for 3-4 weeks. This is because it might be a sign for a more serious conditions like glandular fever or cancer.
