Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain while blowing nose along with sore throat which is due to bacterial infection leading to sinusitis and Eustachian tube dysfunction. I would suggest you to maintain proper oral hygiene. You should take Diphenhydramine and Dextromethorphan for 4-5 days. Do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. Take ibuprofen one tablet twice daily. You should avoid cold carbonated beverages. You should take you take nasal decongestant sprays, antihistamines and antibiotic combination as infection is present.Take soft foods to avoid irritation to the throat. Throat lozanges one every 4 hours is helpful. Drink luke warm water throughout the day as it can provide relief.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
