Brief Answer:
It can be laryngitis or acute pharyngitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to health care magic.

Based on the history you have shared, it seems as if you are suffering from acute attacks of pharyngitis or laryngitis.

here are simple measures to overcome that.

Do regular gargles with saline water.

Using anti histamines like cetrizine or loratidine along with analgesics like acetaminophen or ibuprofen will help.

If fever spike is observed or inflammation start to rise, you may need to use antibiotics like augmentin or azithromycin.

Using hot beverages or less greasy and oily foods may help with the cure.

Hoping you a speedy recovery. If you dont have any more questions, please close the discussion.
