Brief Answer:
Steam inhalation is the mainstay of treatment.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns.
* Gurgling with lukewarm water will help in reducing the soreness of your throat. Try this a few times a day. It will help.
* Take steam inhalation. Water in form of vapor will reach deep inside and would hep in diluting the cough and will make it productive and will relieve the tightness of your chest.
* You may continue taking Maximum Strength Mucinex D.
* You need to be examined clinically. Your doctor could evaluate the small papule in your pharynx and could evaluate the condition of your chest.

Let me know if I could help further.
