Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of chest and throat infection which is leading to sore throat due to bacterial or viral infection. It is leading to upper respiratory tract infection. You should quit intake of smoking. Mox 500 is good option to start with. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. Take ibuprofen one tablet twice daily. Milk boiled with a pinch of turmeric taken at bedtime for can be relieving as it has antimicrobial properties. . Throat lozenges one every 4 hours is helpful. Drink lukewarm water throughout the day as it can provide relief. You should avoid spicy food. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Take soft foods to avoid irritation to the throat
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
