Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I understand your concern.

Your symptoms seem to be related to a recurrent viral infection.

The scratchy throat in my opinion is not related to the pneumonia.

I suggest you to use anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen to treat the inflammation.

I also suggest to use a throat spray with antibacterial properties.

I suggest to drink a lot of liquids and use cold beverage to help with the sore throat.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
