Suggest Treatment For Pain And Irritation In The Throat

About 3 weeks ago, I woke up to a slight irritation in my throat that I assumed was caused by drainage. It would come and go for about a week. Then I went a few days with no irritaion. Then, I sneezed, and it felt like something in my throat was ripping it had hurt so bad. Immediately following the sneeze the pain was there only when I swallowed throughout the rest of the day and into the next morning. Then there was no pain at all for a few days. Today, I went all day with no pain, sat down to eat dinner and the pain returned when I swallowed my first bite. The difference now is that there is a constant dull pain, and when I swallow, the pain is intense. I have pinpointed the pain to be coming from the right side of my adams apple. When I push my adams apple to the left, I feel the intense pain. I Also feel it if I push straight back on the right side of the adams apple. What could be the cause? Any OVC meds that can help. Aleve has not helped the pain.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your you have symptoms of pain and irritation in the throat which is because of infection travel down the respiratory tract and affected whole area and leads to granular pharyngitis and sinusitis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult your ENT specialist for proper examination. He/she may prescribe further antibiotic course and stronger antibiotics. Avoid intake of outside food and cold carbonated beverages. Take combination of amoxicillin along with Levocetirizine. You should put xylomist nasal drops to prevent congestion. You should take chicken soup along with along with lemon tea. Take diet rich in vitamin C. Take decongestant nasal sprays containing mucinex for instant relief.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
