Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of uncomfortable feeling in the throat which is due to granular pharyngitis or upper respiratory tract infection. It could be due to gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Tonsillitis can also cause discomfort .I would suggest you to avoid eating and drinking acidic , spicy and hot food and beverages . Do warm saline gargles. You should avoid taking outside food and try to take food and non spicy food. Take antacid after every meal.

If condition doesn't get better in 2-3 days then consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis and go for swab test. Go for sputum test as well if required and start treatment as per proper diagnosis. Sip warm water after every few minutes.Doctor may also recommend tonsillectomy.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
