Suggest Treatment For Inflamed Throat

I have had reoccurring inflamed throat and flu's and hacking dry cough since eating shell fish a year ago. Also, the person who I was sharing shellfish with had been diagnosed with typhoid prior. Is it possible that I have contracted typhus and how long does it stay in the body?

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your symptoms are unrelated to typhoid. You can relieve your sore throat by using betadine mouth wash. And when it is normal, use Listerine mouthwash.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Suhas Chauhan
