Nope.
It was at its most intensity and worsening.
It was bad. Still is somewhat. The Olive Oil absolutely had its effects on the throat and overall illness. I told my dad, who has been sick as well, to swish olive oil for relief. He did not do it more than once. He just swished it and drank it. But he confirmed it worked well to relieve the infected/sore throat.

Anyone with bad throat symptoms that is not allergic can try it.
