Brief Answer:
It could be pharyngitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Can you upload the picture in the healthcare magic site?

It can be allergic pharyngitis or aphthous ulcers.

I usually suggest tablet augmentin 1 gm twice daily for 1 week.

Take betadine gargle twice daily alternate with warm saline gargle. Take pantoprazole 40 tablet once daily before food for 1 week. Take vitamin supplement like tablet becousole or zincovit tablet once daily for 1 month. Take more liquide preferably warm. You can take paracetamol 1 gm thrice daily for pain. Review after 1 week.

Kindly upload the picture here or email at YYYY@YYYY and address it to my name: Dr Rajat Basak.

Please review if you have any queries.
