Sore throat and difficulty swallowing for 1 week?

Yes, it is important to stay hydrated and you can try using throat lozenges like Halls or Fisherman's Friend to soothe your irritation. It may also be helpful to take anti-inflammatory medication like Advil if you do not have any contraindications. If your symptoms persist for more than 7 days without improvement, it would be wise to consult a doctor.
