Some suggestion about the treatment are:
-rest.
-Drink warm or very cold fluids to ease throat pain.
-Eat smooth foods
-Use a cool-mist vaporizer or humidifier in your room.
-Gargle with warm salt water.
-Suck on lozenges containing benzocaine
-take ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
