Question : I have a minor sore throat, with yellowish roof of mouth
Brief Answer:
Hi,
Detailed Answer:
Hii. Welcome to the healthcare services. It looks like you are having allergic pharyngitis. So you start with betadine alternate with saline gargle. Take tablet solvin or levicetrizine tablet to decrease the inflammation. Take steam inhalation. Start pantoprazole 40 mg half hour before food to reduce acid reflux as acid reflux can contribute to similar allergic pharyngitis. If it doesn't resolve within a week with gargle then start tab augmentin 1 gm twice daily for a week. Avoid spicy food, smoking, alcohol. Drink more water. It will settle over a week. If you are having any nose symptoms then take nasoclear nose drop 3 drops twice daily. Review after a week or I fuou have ang queries.
