Hello,

As per your query, you have strep throat and abscess which seems to be due to bacterial infection in throat.

I would suggest you to avoid hot, sharp, spicy food substances. You should do warm saline rinses and avoid cold carbonated beverages.

Apply Orabase gel on mouth sores and maintain complete hygiene. For pain and swelling, you should take Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen drug.

Consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis and rule out condition like viral infection. The Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with anti-inflammatory medications.

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

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
