Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.

I have read your query and understand your concern.

As per your clinical history it appears that you are most probably having acute laryngitis with post nasal discharge .

If I were your treating Doctor for this case , I would advice you
Steam Inhalation twice daily,
Saline nasal spray thrice daily ,
Antiseptic chlorhexidine Mouth Wash twice daily ,
anti inflammatory analgesic Paracetamol thrice daily &
Antihistaminic Fexofenadine Tab Allegra at night .

You will get relief .

Certainly above treatment will give you much relief but if relief is not upto satisfaction level then consultation with your ENT doctor will become essential.

Hope this helps , Thanks.
