Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

I read your query carefully.
I would advise you the following:
AVOID:
> Chilled water (drinking water should b of room temperature)
> Drinks.
> Spicy food.
> voice rest.
Am telling these at the top because sometimes we kept on taking medicines but we do not avoid such thinks.



- Take Diphenhydramine + Dextromethorphan for cough (if you have)
- I would start you on amoxicilin/clavulanic acid 625mg thrice a day for 7 days. (It is a prescription medicine so you need to visit nearest doctor to get it)
- Take acetaminophen for pain.

- Take hot water in a cup, add 1 table spoon salt in it. Perform gargles (mouth wash) with it three times a day for at least 3 days. It will give soothing effect.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
