Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
The symptoms what you have been experiencing appears that you could be having inflammation of pharynx.
Kindly do the following to overcome them.
1. Do salt water gargling with warm water thrice a day.
2. Use steam inhalation to liquefy the mucous for easy drainage.
3. Take mucolytic-decongestant medications in the form of syrup containing Ambroxol/Bromhexine, Guaifenesin and Chlorpheniramine maleate as ingredients.
4. Take anti-inflammatory medication Tablet. Ibuprofen after food.
5. Take medicated lozenges for throat soothening effect when necessary.
Strictly avoid consumption of cold items like cold drinks and ice cream.
Your symptoms should get better soon by adopting to above measures.
Kindly take the necessary medications as has been prescribed for your thyroid disorder.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
