What Causes Sore Throat Along With Stuffy Nose?

My throat has been sore for over a week now, and i originally also had a stuffy nose. My stuffy nose is gone but it feels like i am swallowing glass in the morning and night time. I also have developed some type of bump towards the back of the roof of the mouth, right before where it gets soft..This bump is very painful when any slight pressure is applied to it

Hi..
Can understand your concern..

As per your query it seems that you have a viral infection causing common cold due to which you had a stuffy nose and swollen tonsils which is causing you pain and discomfort..

As in case of viral infection antibiotics are not helpful treatment given is to relieve the symptoms like pain and discomfort..

If you have severe pain you can take IBUPROFEN OR TYLENOL only if not allergic to reduce pain and inflammation..
Throat lozenges can be taken three to four a day to have a soothing effect..
Do warm saline gargles.
Avoid spicy and hard foods.
Take ample of fluids to keep yourself well hydrated.

If the condition does not improve in a week time you should see your ENT expert and get clinical checkup done..

Hope your query is solved..

Thanks and regards..
