Hi Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum .
If I were your treating doctor, I would treat your problem as upper respiratory tract infection. I would prescribe you ,Macrolide Antibiotic azithromycin for a week and cough syp. Also use antiseptic mouthwash , Plenty of fluids & Antihistaminic levocetirizine + Leukotriene antagonists Montelukast combination .
Certainly above treatment will give you much relief but if relief is not upto satisfaction level then consultation with your ENT doctor will become essential.
Hope this helps , Thanks.
