What Causes Red Throat Along With White Spot?
I had a cold approximately one month ago and I am still experiencing a persistent cough that initially seemed like it was caused by post nasal drip. I ve gone through a bottle of codeine cough syrup and antibiotics but I m still coughing. My throat is a little red and I have one white spot that I noticed a week ago. Otherwise I feel fine. What could my problem be?

Hi Welcome to healthcaremagic,
As per your query, You might have sore throat along with cough,here are some remedies for cough and sore throat.
1.Saltwater gargle- gargling several times a day with warm salt water can reduce swelling in the throat and loosen mucus, helping to flush out irritants or bacteria.Dissolve half a teaspoon of salt in one cup of water. Just remember to spit the water out after gargling, rather than swallowing.
2.Lozenges and spray-Sucking on cough drops stimulates saliva production, which can help keep your throat moist
3.You can take acetaminophen or paracetamol,it helps to reduce swelling and pain.
4.Honey, ginger paste taken with hot milk is good for cough reduction.
Visit a ENT specialist, if problem persist
