Dear Doctor , Greetings! I am 31 years old and frequently suffer from throat infection which leads to quick high fever and then later into cough. On recent I suffered and doctor advised Antibiotic twice a day. Fever was 103 degree Fahrenheit. Took medicine for two days. Since then I have small boils under and on sides of tongue and slight pain in deeper jaw while swallowing water. I also very frequently suffer from boils on lips. Has history of not so good digestion system. Kindly advice. Also please advice if I need to take some vitamins regularly to avoid frequent boils on lips.

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of throat infection which is leading to sore throat due to bacterial or viral infection. You are having ulcers and frequent boils on lips seems to be due to acid reflux and aphthous ulceration. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. Take ibuprofen one tablet twice daily. Milk boiled with a pinch of turmeric taken at bedtime for can be relieving. Avoid spicy food. Take soft foods to avoid irritation to the throat. Throat lozenges one every 4 hours is helpful. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Take diet rich in multivitamins and drink plenty of water. Apply petroleum jelly on lips.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
