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.
