Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat

I started with a tickly cough than has now turned into a chesty one with mucus. I have lost my voice through coughing and my upper chest hurts (through coughing). It is worse at night. Can you recommend anything to relieve the symptoms until it clears? Age 31, height 5ft 2 in. weight 9 1/2 stone. No abnormal medical history.

Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of a sore throat which seems to be due to chest infection/ chronic upper respiratory tract infection. It could be due to poor immunity of the body as well.

Need not to worry about it. I would suggest you do warm saline gargles. You should visit the ENT specialist once and get it examined.

You should get paranasal sinus x-ray done along with throat swab test and blood tests and start treatment after proper diagnosis.

Take proper course of antibiotics. Avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of fluids. Apply mist humidifiers in the room. Avoid cold carbonated beverages.

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

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
