if its more than a week then its already a big issue so wait that long, you supposed to go to the doctor for consultation so they can prescribe you a certain medicine, dont wait til it become worst as i guess 12 days is already worst, its not really normal to have that for 12 days, i used to have that and it only last 2 to 3 days and its gone, dont just try to talk and dont drink any cold drink, also drink hot ginger tea. but better get consult a doctor. its not just an ordinary soar throat but perhaps it might be tonsillitis already and its dangerous if left untreated.

hi
How r u now?
Sometime throat infection trobles alot.
I want to give you 2 good home remidies for your throat infection.
1. Gargle with warm salt water 3-4 times a day.
2. every night drink hot termeric milk(Add 1 spoon sugar + 1/2 spoon termeric powder and then boil).
This will give some relief for sure. Try this and let me know the result.
Good luck!
Nothing will happen!
Be positive !
If you are smooking then pls avoid it.

If you took the medicine as prescribed and you still have the throat problem, go back to the doctor. It could be a bacteria that's resistant to some medicines, so you may have to take another course. Twelve days is much too long for an infection to linger.
