Nicip (nimesulide) helps relieve pain and inflammation temporarily but does not treat the underlying cause of your sore throat. Since your pain has been worsening over three days, you should consult a doctor to determine if this is a bacterial infection (which requires specific antibiotics) or a viral illness. Please do not self-medicate with antibiotics. For immediate relief, try warm salt-water gargles, stay well-hydrated, and rest your throat. A doctor will examine you and prescribe the correct targeted treatment. Avoid frequent use of Nicip without medical supervision due to risk of side effects.
