Hello,

As per your query, you have throat ache and difficulty in swallowing which seems to be due to viral pharyngitis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take anti-inflammatory medications such as Aleve for times being for throat-ache.

Do warm saline gargles and do not eat spicy food. Your symptoms will resolve in 3-4 days.

If symptoms keep on persisting, visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper examination and prescription. Go for blood tests, take light diet, drink plenty of fluids, and have proper rest.

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

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
