Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of pain and burning sensation in the throat despite taking medication which seems to be due to persistence of upper respiratory tract infection due to poor and immunocompromised immunity of body.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid intake of sharp and spicy food substances and cold beverages. Apply dologel on these ulcers. You should consult ENT specialist for proper examination. Doctor may order certain tests like throat swab test, blood test and may prescribe antibiotics (amoxicillin or penicillin ) at least for 10 days along with anti-inflammatory medications. For now do warm saline gargles and take steam twice daily .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
