Viral Fever +Sore throat
Hey, I have had viral fever for 4 days. The doctor stayed a 3 day course of paracetamol, with a 5 day course of antibiotics. The fever has reduced, however I have a very bad sore throat. He suggested I not have hot liquids or gargle (I didn't get a proper answer why), but gargling usually helps in such scenarios. Should I start gargling?
