Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat And Pain While Swallowing

Steroids not seem to be helpful
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your question.
I read it carefully and I understand your concern.
If there hasn't been visible pus on tonsils on doctors examination, then I agree with the diagnoses of Laryngitis which in general are viral infections and do not need antibiotics.
The guidelines do not recommend the use of Methylprednisolone or steroids in general.
What may help, according the recommendations :
-- Voice rest
-- Take plenty of fluids
-- Steam therapy
-- Analgesics. If Tylonol doesn't help you then you can use Ibuprofen 400 mg, 3 times/day after food. It will help with the pain much more then tylonol and will decrease the inflamation.
-- Try to not smoke and avoid acidic foods.
Hope this is helpful. Let me know if you have other questions or concerns. Otherwise please kindly close and rate the answer.
Regards,
Dr.Papaqako
