I have had a sore throat on and off for the past 2 weeks. It began on the left side of my throat. I felt an itch in my ear .My Doctor said there was no infection. In the last 2 days it is the right side of my throat. My tonsils were removed when I was 4 years old.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query sore throat and itchiness in the ear along with history of tonsillectomy is because of upper respiratory tract infection or sinusitis. I would suggest you to start with course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Avoid cold beverages. Do warm saline gargles 3-4 times a day with lukewarm water. Take diet rich in fruits rich in vitamin C as it will boost your immunity. Keep on sipping lukewarm water whole day. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start proper course of antibiotics. You can take steam inhalation as it is very effective but only if you are comfortable with that.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
