Hi,
I have read your query & understood your concern.
* Sore throat can be -allergic/bacterial/viral in origin.Clinical examination by ENT specialist,investigations ( CBC,throat swab test,sputum test)will pin point the cause & then specific treatment will be advised by the doctor.
* being over weight, you should get your self tested for fasting& post meal blood sugar,lipid profile-as normal blood sugar is essential for cure of any infection
.* hot saline gargles,avoiding sour/cold eatings/avoiding allergens favors early recovery.
Thanks.
