Can Paracetamol Help a Sore Throat? What Doctors Recommend

Paracetamol is a widely recommended first-line treatment for sore throat, especially when caused by viral infections like colds or flu. It helps relieve pain and reduce fever, making swallowing more comfortable. Most cases do not require antibiotics, as they resolve naturally. Correct dosage is essential to avoid harm. Combining paracetamol with simple remedies like hydration, saltwater gargles, and rest improves recovery. Medical advice is needed if symptoms persist, worsen, or include severe pain, high fever, or difficulty breathing or swallowing.
