Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern.
Some advices that I can give to you are :
-Gargle with warm salt water to help reduce swelling and relieve discomfort
-stay hydrated
-Use a vaporizer or humidifier in your bedroom.
-don't smoke
-Use nonprescription throat lozenges.
Medicated throat lozenges or sprays have medicine (local anesthetic) that numbs the throat to soothe pain.
-Use a decongestant or a steroid nasal spray camera.gif if you have a stuffy nose
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
