Suggest Treatment For Severe Sore Throat
Hi Dr. Bhatti; I ve been on Allopurinol for several years and for the last year have had no gout but have slowly developed a chronic and often very painful sore throat. The sore throat has moderate to severe ache and always also exhibits hoarseness and a stiffness in my speaking or singing (yes I am a professional singer). Should I stop Allopurinol completely?

Yes. you can continue Allopurinol. regarding sore throat and hoarsness of voice, it may be due to upper respiratory tract infection with laryngitis. First stop singing for one week. take voice rest, use steam inhalation and use folowwing medication for one week
