Detailed Answer:
Hi, best is for you to gargle with half a tablet of soluble aspirin dissolved in water three times a day.It will relieve local pain and inflammation.
Take a good multivitamin with vitamin C an Zinc to remove weakness and tide you over till you can see your doctor.
If aspirin gargles are not enough, take oral paracetamol like Tylenol when you feel real bad.
Continue your bedtime cough syrup---regards
