How Can Swelling And Pain In The Throat Be Treated?
Hello. I had my tonsils removed about a 10 months ago and I have a bad cold and coughed pretty hard which tore the scar tissue causing my throat to bleed and now it s swollen, and painful making it hard to swallow. I was just wondering what I should do.
I hope bleeding is not severe if so kindly visit ENT specialist asap. To releive pain you can take paracetamol/acetaminophen 500mg twice daily for 3 days. If there's sore throat because of infection antibiotic like Augmentin 625mg BD for 5 days can be taken after consultation. Avoid spicy foods,use throat lozenges,drink sips of hot water.
