Suggest Treatment For Throat Pain And Sinus Infection

My throat is constantly aching..and it has been like this since a few months. The doctor gave me antibiotics twice for throat and sinus infection during the same time period and my throat seems to get better for a little while, but the throat pain starts again and just doesn t seem to go away. My throat and ears are scratchy too sometimes. What could be causing such prolonged throat aches and pains?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of constant aching throat since a few months, received antibiotics twice, there is scratchiness in the throat and ears.
The cause can be GERD, that is gastroesophageal reflux disease as the antibiotic is not working.
I would advise you to take Ranitidine or Omeprazole.
Domperidone thrice daily.
Antacid gel 3 hourly
Avoid hot and spicy foods and beverages
No stress and anxiety
early and sound sleep.
All these measures will help you perfectly.
Get an endoscopy of the pharynx, and Upper GI done to confirm the problems.
I find this answer helpful
