Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for trusting us with your health concerns.

Gargling with salt water and throat lozenges can help with a sore throat. Also drinking a lot of water and using an air humidifier can be very helpful.

Eating frequent small portions of food can help clear the post nasal drip.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask further.

Wishing you good health and all the best.
