Hi,

There can be possible pneumonia underlying as the intensity of pain is much severe.

It is recommended to undertake an x-ray of the chest with basic lab tests of total white cell count, ESR to further furnish the medication guidelines.

At present, primary relief with
- PPI as omeprazole to cover GI upset
- Antibiotic as per the doctor`s prescription
- Gargles with salted lukewarm water added peppermint oil
- Dietary measures to avoid excess sugary, dairy products.

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

Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel,
