Hi, thank you for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.
You might be suffering from Inflammation in the throat leading to throat pain.
You might find relief by taking the following medicines:
Analgesic with Anti-inflammatory like Ibuprofen (400mg twice daily after food) along with Antacid like RANITIDINE 150mg twice daily before food.
Also do warm saline gargles.Avoid cold,spicy and hot food.Drink lots of warm fluids.
I would also like to know few answers from you:
Are you suffering from cold/cough/fever/painful swallowing/neck swelling ?
If you have symptoms like high grade fever(more than 101 degree fahrenheit), enlargement of neck lymph nodes, any pus discharge in the back of the throat, white patches over the tonsil or pharynx, or severe pain in the throat leading to difficulty in swallowing, then they're suggestive of bacterial infection and you might need to start Oral Antibiotic after getting checked up by your local physician (pref. ENT specialist).
Hope this answers your question. Awaiting your details.
Take care.
