Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

As this is the initial stage of infection so it can be cured by home remedies. I would suggest you following things:
> Take hot water in a cup, add 1 table spoon salt & perform gargles (mouth wash) with it thrice a day for 3-4 days. It will give soothing effect and improve the symptoms.
> In case of fever or pain you can use acetaminophen.
> Diphenhydramine + Dextromethorphan for cough

AVOID:
> Chilled water
> Drinks
> Spicy food
> Oily products

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
