Question : I am feeling uneasiness in throat since last 20 days or so. No difficulty in swallowing or breathing. Can feel slight swelling in the middle of the throat. I am in USA right now. Can I try any general medication before I get an appointment to a doctor?

Brief Answer:
Yes, you can try general medication

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I have gone through your query, it suggests that you may be suffering from the acute pharyngitis.
For this you may take
1. Tablet containing azithromycin and levofloxacin for five days.
2. Hexidine mouth gargles.
3. Avoid cold water, icecream and smoking if you have.

Wish you good health.

Thanks
