Brief Answer:
Need some further details regarding..

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX Welcome back to HCM,
I've gone through the query and understand your concern for your wife,

However, since you've mentioned about the throat infection, have you got her checked by any physician ? how was it diagnosed, please clarify..also let me know if she's currently taking any medications..

When you mentioned cold, do you mean runny nose ? if yes, then please let me know what is the color of nasal secretions ?

A few more details required specifically i.e.

Since when is she suffering ?

Is there any fever ? any chills/rigor associated ?

Any cough? if yes, is it productive, any phlegma, if yes what is the color is it ?

Any difficulty breathing ?

Any headache / feeling heaviness over head / bodyache etc. ?

Is there any hoarseness of voice ?

Does she have any significant past/present medical ailments (any particular medication is she taking regularly for any other health concern) ?

How is her general health overall ?

Any other problems ?

Now as per your descriptions, it seems like pharyngitis and/ tonsillitis (exact diagnosis is possible only after examining her clinically), however treatment modality remains almost same..

Meanwhile let her start on Betadine gurgle three times daily for next 7 days.. also put a pinch of salt in XXXXXXX warm water and gurgle twice daily as an alternative fashion for next few days..

Take steam inhalation three times daily (make sure to cover the head properly with a towel for 2-3 mins while doing this)..

Tell her to avoid cold drinks, dairy products, sour foods for the time being..

Make sure she remains well hydrated, drink plenty of water (~ 2.5 ltr per day) and XXXXXXX warm liquids (eg. herbal/green tea, soups, broths, porridge etc.).. avoid spicy foods and have simple home cooked meals for the time being..

Let me know all these other details so that I can advice further on this..
Awaiting..

Take Care
Kind Regards
