Suggest Treatment For Throat Irritation And Headache

So about three days ago I smoked a swisher and I barely ever smoke anything like that and now my throat is killing me and I had a headache lately and I went to the doctors and they said I didn t have strep throat. So could it be possible that the swisher did this to my throat and made me sick for this many days?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having symptoms of throat irritation and headache which is because of infection travel down the respiratory tract and affected whole area an leads to tonsillitis/ granular pharyngitis and sinusitis. Need not to worry. Do warm saline gargles on daily basis. You should put xylomist nasal drops to prevent congestion. You should take chicken soup along with along with lemon tea. I would suggest you to again consult your ENT specialist for proper examination. He/she may prescribe further antibiotic course and stronger antibiotics. Take combination of amoxicillin along with Levocetrizine. Take diet rich in vitamin C. Take decongestant nasal sprays containing mucinex for instant relief.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
