Hello,

As per your query, you have symptoms of discomfort in the throat while swallowing viral pharyngitis and could be due to thyroid hormonal imbalance.

I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist as well as endocrinologist once and get blood tests and hormonal levels monitored such as T3, T4 and thyroxine. You can be advised a course of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory painkiller medicines like Ibuprofen, Mucolytics like Ambroxol.

You should drink plenty of water, you can also do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. Avoid spicy and chilled foods and take more of fluids and a semisolid diet.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
