Hey girly-girl, ignore them and listen to me. Hon, get some PURE essential lavender oil from a health food store or of the like and gargle two drops with every glass of warm water. Fill the glass half-way and then add 2 drops of oil. Take care not too use 3. You can gargle with this remedy every couple of hours, if you like. Lavender will help numb the pain and it will kill any bacteria that might have caused the infection to begin with. Good luck and I hope you feel better!P.s. If this doesn't work, please go to the doctor.
