If you’re experiencing a persistent sore throat, you need prompt care. Luckily, if you’re in Franklin, Massachusetts, or a nearby area, you won’t need to go far to get the first-rate treatment you deserve. Simply visit PhysicianOne Urgent Care, a respected immediate care center that’s been certified by the Urgent Care Association (UCA). As with all of our urgent care services, we offer sore throat treatment on a walk-in basis (with advanced scheduling also available).

Do You Need Professional Sore Throat Treatment?

If you have a sore throat, you may be trying to decide between using natural throat infection remedies and calling a doctor. Throat pain can often be relieved using the following at-home sore throat remedies:

  • Taking over-the-counter pain medication, anti-inflammatory medication, or a decongestant
  • Sipping warm liquids (for example, tea or soup)
  • Sucking on a throat lozenge
  • Gargling with salt water

However, if your throat is still sore after a few days, you should reach out to an experienced medical professional, such as the ones at PhysicianOne Urgent Care. After speaking with you about your symptoms, performing an examination, and conducting any necessary lab tests, we’ll recommend the sore throat treatment that’s best suited to your needs. For example, while strep throat treatment generally requires prescription antibiotics, treatment for a sore throat caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) may instead involve histamine-2 blockers or antacids.

This was the fastest, easiest, and best doctor's visit. The provider was extremely kind and helpful. I explained my symptoms, the provider asked a few followup questions, and then she issued a script. I will absolutely be using this service again and would recommend to anyone.
