Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

As per your query you have difficulty in swallowing and pain while eating is mainly because of inflammation of tonsils in neck area. Tonsils gets elnlarged due to bacterial infection due to which you cannot swallow saliva even and giving you symptoms of strep throat.

I would suggest you to do betadine gargles two times a day. Start with antibiotic such as Azithromycin and antipyretic drug such as paracetamol to avoid fever and infection. Take this course for 5 days. Your symptoms will relieve soon.

Do warm saline gargles on frequent basis. Take green tea for opening of sinuses.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
