Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you have an Upper Respiratory Tract Infection leading to sore throat, cold and pain..
I would suggest you to take a higher painkiller like TRAMADOL or Ketorolac to relieve pain..
Continue doing warm saline gargles but avoid taking ice cream or other chilled foods..
In the morning consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like throat swab culture can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
You can be advised to take anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, anti allergics like Benadryl or Levocetrizine, decongestant like Phenylephrine or Pseudoephadrine, do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day..
Avoid spicy , hard and chilled foods.
Do steam inhalation and use a humidifier in your room..
Suck throat lozenges..
Chew Vitamin C pellet to boost your immunity..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
