Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe sore throat, cough with phlegm and foul breath which is mainly because of pharyngitis or upper respiratory tract infection. You should take combination of Ibuprofen and Azithromycin. Do warm saline gargles. Maintain proper oral hygiene. Avoid oily and fried food. You should not take carbonated beverages. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. Go for blood tests to detect level of infection. Take warm milk with a small amount of tumeric at bed side.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
