Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Irritation in the throat could be due to infection due to bacteria or the virus.

Gargling with an antiseptic solution like betadine/ iodine based gargle will help to reduce or cure the infection and relieve you of the throat discomfort.

Also, avoid cold foods and drink, and consume only warm foods . hydrate yourself well. Do not self-medicate yourself.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
