Suggest Remedy For Sore Throat With Cough

For the past two/three weeks, I have been experience sore, sensitive, and irritated throat and ear canal. At night I am unable to sleep due to coughing and saliva in my throat. Symptoms have not improved and I cant get any relief.

During the first week of the symptoms, I felt nauseated on and off throughout the day.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain there is a possibility that you either have throat infection that has also cause infection in the ear canal due to communication between the pharynx and the middle ear through the eustachian tube..
Other cause can be acid reflux due to which acid reflux from stomach to throat and can cause irritation..

You should consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and investigations like Throat swab culture, pH value of throat and upper G.I endoscopy can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..

In case of infection antibiotics, anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen, warm saline gargles,steam inhalation and use a humidifier in your room can help..

In case of acid reflux antacids, proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole, drinking plenty of water, avoiding spicy food and keeping head slightly raised while sleeping can help..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
