Pls reply
Dear XXXXXXX
Thank you for your query.
1. Throat pain while taking XXXXXXX breaths, coughing and shouting is due to a sore throat caused by an Acute Pharyngitis. Acute pharyngitis is commonly due to straining such as with coughing and shouting, or acid reflux if there is no fever. Fever signifies a viral or bacterial infection.
To differentiate these conditions you must get your throat examined by a local ENT Specialist. This is a clinical examination, possible only on direct examination. There is no standard definition / description of a normal throat.
You should avoid exposure to tobacco and alcohol if you take any. Start a medicated gargle such as Betadine or Tantum. If not, at least warm saline gargles. You may start a cough mixture such as Honitus. Further medication such should be under the supervision of a doctor.
If your cough is dry, it is more likely to be an allergy or common viral infection rather than a serious illness. You may find relief with anti allergy medications like antihistamines.
Hope, I have answered your query. Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Regards.
