Hello,

You are suggested to get clinically examined by an ENT, get throat swab, sputum test, CBC, tests to rule out swelling of lymph nodes, tonsilloliths, etc. Your treatment will depend on the pathology diagnosed.

You will be treated with antibiotics, analgesics and will be recommended surgery if required. You are suggested to take adequate amount of water and fluids. Gargle your throat with salt water 2-3 times daily. Avoid irritants like cigarette smoking and alcohol. Use a humidifier in the room so that you are comfortable.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
