No fever , No Cough apart from the symptomps above over all health seems ok ,
can you suggest what it could be and any home remedies or any medicine.
Thanks , XXXXXXX
Pharyngitis is possible.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear XXXXXXX welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I see the photos of the throat you attached and the back of your throat seems to be red . The tonsils aren't barely seen which means they are not swollen and most probably not infected. Also tonsillitis gives high fever which you currently don't have.
I believe you are having pharyngitis. Being exposed to cold weather , drinking ice water, smoking, allergies can make you have frequent pharyngitis.
You can do these home remedies
gargling with salt water
gargling with baking soda and water
use acetaminophen for pain
use throat disinfectant spry ,or drops ,or lozenges.
have warm tea with honey and lemon.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
