What Is The Remedy For Sore Throat?
I have pain on my adam s apple and around the soft tissue of the adam s apple when I sneeze or yawn. It is sore when it is idle. But very painful when I sneeze or yawn. It has been like this for two weeks. I took an anti-inflammatory that my doctor gave me and it got somewhat better. But now it is back to how it was before.

Hi,Welcome to healthcare magic forum
I have read your question in detail and I understand your concern.Going by the symptoms you describe its most likely a viral infection as most common cause. In similar cases I advice my patients antibiotic like Augmentin, anti-histaminic cetzine, tab.enzoflam. Apart from that you can do the following things:
1. Drink warm water and do gargling by mixing warm water with salt 3-4 times a day ,if throat pain persists you can buy tantum gargles(combination of antiseptic and anesthetic)/ betadine gargles.
2. Avoid unhealthy,oily and cold foodstuffs.
3. Eat well to avoid feeling weak and to improve your immunity.
4. If still the pain is not relieved visit your nearest ENT specialist and get and laryngoscopy done to find out the exact cause.
Kindly rate my answer if you find it useful. Feel free to ask any queries.Take care.
