steam inhalation and warm saline gargles

Hi, I am Dr Mittal. I have read your query. I think I would be able to help you.
The symptoms of the query are suggestive of a possible upper respiratory tract infection.

If it hurts too much, you can meet a local practitioner for a mild and short duration of steroids under the cover of antibiotics.
If it still hurts, you can also try xylocaine spray.
