PRETEST 4
I. Read the passage and choose the best answer:

Most sore throats are caused by an infection which 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 on swallowing. With children - and some adults - there may be a fever and the patient is obviously not feeling well. It may be possible to see white spots on the back of the throat. The neck may also swell, both of which are the normal response to infection.
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 (if there is one) the fever. 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.
Food: Food should not be forced on a patient who does not want to eat.
Steam: If there is 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 1 year: A single junior aspirin. At 5 years: Half an adult aspirin
At 8 years: One whole adult aspirin
