Hello ,
Thanks for consulting HCM
I have read your query . Tightness in throat can be due to strep throat or tonsilitis . For this I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for clinical examination and evaluation . Inmeantime do warm saline gargle 2 to 3 times a day and you can take medicine like Azithromycin and allegra by consulting with local doctor .
Hope this will help you .
