Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

As per your query you have pain while swallowing is mainly because of inflammation of tonsils in neck area. Tonsils gets elnlarged due to bacterial infection due to which you cannot swallow saliva even and giving you symptoms of strep throat.

I would suggest you to do betadine gargles two times a day. You can take a course of antibiotics to prevent any bacterial or viral infection .
-Take soft and cold diet.
-Avoid taking spicy and hot food.
-Dont try to put pressure on your throat trying to vomit.
-Taking luke warm milk with turmeric dissolved in it can help you heal faster and it has antiseptic properties too. Consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
