I went to the doctor over a chronic sore throat (2 months) because I was worried it might be throat cancer. He prescribed codeine, prilosec, and antibiotics and if neither of those worked the next step would have been an MRI. Fortunately it cured in less than a week but I still don’t which of the three did the trick. It could be that Obama is going through the same thing.
I had a plugged salivary gland, unbelievable pain. The remedy...suck on lemon drops. Worked lie a charm.
