Hi Dear,

welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sore and dry throat which is because of infection leading to strep throat. Need not to worry. Avoid cigarette smoking and slowly stops it. I would suggest you to take antibiotics like Amoxicillin for 5 days. You should take steam inhalation with vaporizers. Chew a Vitamin C pellet daily. Visit ENT specialist once and get throat culture and sputum test done to find out exact cause and start treatment accordingly. Avoid cold carbonated beverages. Avoid spicy, hot and sharp food substances. You should take anti-inflammatory painkiller Ibuprofen for relief from pain and inflammation.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
