Most sore throats are caused by an infection that treatment with antibiotics cannot cure. But with simple remedies, the patient normally gets better in 4 or 5 days.

Tonsillitis, however, usually starts with a sore throat which causes pain in swallowing. With children – and some adults – there may be fewer and the patient is obviously not feeling well. It may be possible to see white spots on the back of the throat.

Sometimes a sore throat may occur with the common cold, and with influenza, there may be dryness of the throat, pain on coughing, and loss of voice.

Treatment:
Aspirin: To help relieve the pain on swallowing and the fever (if there is one). Use aspirin tablets dissolved in water so that the patient can gargle before swallowing. Repeat the treatment every 4 hours.
Drink: Encourage the patient to drink plenty.
Steam: if there is a pain in the throat on coughing, breathing in steam may help.
Children:
Young children, who may not be able to gargle, should be given aspirin dissolved in water every 4 hours in the right dose for their age. At one year: A single junior aspirin

If the sore throat is still getting worse after 2 days
If the patient complains of earache
If the patient’s fever increases

The idea of a driverless car is not new. Now there are already cars on the road that can park themselves. But a truly self-driving car, one that can drive itself, is being tested by scientists and engineers. Self-driving cars have already been tested on public roads. These cars not only record images of the road, but their computerized maps view road signs, find alternative routes and see traffic lights even before they are seen by a person. By using radars and cameras, the cars can analyze information about their surroundings faster than a human can.

In some of the tests, the car leans the details of a road by driving on it several times, and when it is time to drive itself, it can identify when there are pedestrians crossing and then stops to let them pass by. Self-driving cars could make transport safer for all of us by eliminating the cause of most of today’s accidents.

Now there are already cars on the road that can …………..
