Unless it's strep throat, antibiotics are unlikely to help you get over a sore throat.

There’s another virus causing problems in Idaho. Strep throat is now making the rounds, along with COVID-19, RSV, and the flu.

Plus, if you’ve already had COVID and think the worse is over, think again. New research is showing that the long-term after effects of the coronavirus can really mess with your brain.

Dr. David Pate, former CEO of St. Luke's Health System, joins Idaho Matters to talk more about this.

As Senior Producer of our live daily talk show Idaho Matters, I’m able to indulge my love of storytelling and share all kinds of information (I was probably a Town Crier in a past life). My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
