Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You are having pharyngitis infection as per history.
For that decongestant like phenylephrine can be prescribed. Avoid excess spicy foods. Drink more water. Posterior pharynx examination also should be done. If no improvement than throat swab taken for culture. If congestion in posterior pharynx more than diluted Betadine gargle can be prescribed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
