Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of pain in the throat which is leading to sore throat due to bacterial or viral infection. It is leading to upper respiratory tract infection. It could be due to gastroesophageal reflux disease or tonsillitis .
I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. Take ibuprofen one tablet twice daily. Milk boiled with a pinch of turmeric taken at bedtime for can be relieving as it has antimicrobial properties. You should avoid spicy food.
Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Doctor may order throat swab test , viral culture test along with CT scan if needed .Take soft foods to avoid irritation to the throat. Throat lozenges one every 4 hours is helpful. Drink lukewarm water throughout the day as it can provide relief.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
