I Have A Itchy, Congested Throat That’s Causing Me Slight


Seems like pharyngitis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I see the photos you attached and your throat seems red and inflammation is also present.
I think this seems like pharyngitis possibly viral.
Smoking weed can't cause it but it can make it worse and irritate it more.
You may need to use salt water gargling, backing soda gargling to reduce inflammation.
You can also use losenges found over the counter.
You can use ibuprofen or acetaminophen to relieve pain.
It can get better soon on its own.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.



Not related to tonsillitis .
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
I see the pictures you attached and the white spot is not on tonsil but is on mucosal lining around it.
It doesn't signify infection or tonsillitis.
The running nose also can be a symptom of pharyngitis.

You can use antihistamines .
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
I think you may need to take any antihistamines such benadryl or loratadin to help relieve the congestion and the coughing as well.
If it doesn't seem to get better in 3 days you should visit a doctor to listen to your lungs .
