What Is The Treatment For Sore Throat?

I ve had a sore throat for four days that has only gotten worse. Yesterday morning when I woke up, I had a stomach ache as well that went away over time. Today I felt short of breath, had two minor dizzy spells, and when I took my shower, it felt like I had breathed in water when the only water I breathed was the steam. This went away soon after I got out of the shower. I do not have a fever. Can you tell me what s wrong, or if I should see a doctor?

Hi,

Sore throat for 4 days feeling like inhaling steam in bath indicate inflammation of the respiratory tract. Pain in abdomen can be due to swallowed sputum causing infection in intestine. Such symptoms indicate a consultation with a doctor. If required throat swab and blood tests will be done and an antibiotic started if there is any evidence of infection on examination or by reports of investigations. Additional povidone iodine gargles, anti-inflammatory medicines, nasal decongestant drops will help early and complete recovery.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
