Are an herbal throat remedy and a fever reducer enough to treat a sore throat with mucus, fever, and watery eyes, and will drinking room-temperature wine make my illness worse?
Your symptoms sound like a common viral infection. An herbal remedy and a fever reducer (like paracetamol or ibuprofen) are excellent for managing your discomfort, but they only relieve symptoms while your body fights the virus. Regarding the wine, it is best to avoid alcohol right now. Alcohol can dehydrate you, irritate your sore throat, and potentially interact with your fever reducer. Staying hydrated with water, warm broths, or herbal teas will help you recover much faster. Please rest up, and if your fever persists or symptoms worsen, please consult a healthcare professional.
