Brief Answer:
Salt water gargling
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
It looks like you are having an upper respiratory tract infection. Here is what you should do
1. I recommend that you just take Neksium, Zantac is a simialr acting drug and need not be taken along with Neksium
2. Tab Levocetrizine taken at night will help reduce the mucous secretions
3. I recommend salt water gargling with warm water three times daily.
Usually respiratory tract infections take about 1 week to get better if the symptoms does not regress I recommend you to meet the ENT surgeon once again for a laryngoscope
I hope I was of help, if you have no further queries please get back to me
I wish you good health and a speedy recovery
