Suggest Remedy For Mild Throat Pain Post Treatment For Throat Gonorrhea
Hi Doctor, I am karthik and I am 24 years old male. I had a sore throat so, I got STD tested and it was positive for throat gonorrhea. I was treated with Ceftriaxone injection and 1 gm oral Azithromycin tablet on 8th July. I was retested on 3rd Aug and the report was negative. I did not involve in any sexual stuff since 8th July but I am feeling kind of dry, mild pain and uncomfortable in my throat most of the times. I feel more when i eat to the candy or sweets. Can you please suggest me what to do?

Hello,
As per my clinical experience, as the repeat test of gonorrhea has turned out negative, means that the infection is cured. The current symptoms of mild throat pain, irritation most of the time with discomfort do indicate possible tissue edema remaining after the primary infection or some sort of soreness over the partially healed pharynx or other upper respiratory tract orgenelles. My guidelines for better recovery:
- Drink more liquids including boiled water, lemon juice, hot beverages
- Avoid spices, non veg, junk items, excess sugary stuffs
- Gargles with salted lukewarm water added epsom salt and peppermint oil 3 times a day
- Avoid active or passive smoking if involved
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
