Should I consult or is it just a virus that will pass on its own? Is there anything else I could do to make this go away?

If your symptoms persist for more than a week without improvement, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try taking over-the-counter medications like Tylenol and throat lozenges for relief. Drinking plenty of fluids, whether hot or cold, can also help alleviate your discomfort. Additionally, nasal hygiene with saline solutions may help reduce nasal drainage that can contribute to throat irritation. If you have any concerns or questions, do not hesitate to seek professional medical advice.
