Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Good morning. I have had a sore throat for a number of days now. it is uncomfortable when i swallow and feels as if there is some swelling in the back of my throat mainly on the left side. are there any over the counter remedies or herbal treatments that i could administer myself to remedy this?
Sore throat usually do not last longer than a week if you drink warm water. I suggest you to have only warm water for a week continuously and also have saline water gargles many times a day. No other herbal remedy is required. I also suggest consulting a ENT for physical examination, diagnosis and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. K. V. Anand, Psychologist
