What Causes Breathing Difficulty, Sore Throat And Excessive Thirst?

I am in terrible pain from a sore throat, and ears. Throat hurts so bad that I cannot swallow correctly. My epiglottis must be inflamed because I m choking on water, and feel like a can t breath as water goes down the wrong pipe. I m getting very thirsty, and fear dehydration.

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have breathing difficulty, sore throat and excessive thirst is because of granular pharyngitis/ bronchitis which is a lung infection. I would suggest you to take decongestants containing psedonephrine like Sinarest. Taking decongestant nasal spray can also be relieving. Take antibiotic course of Levofloxacin for 5 days. Visit ENT specialist once and get complete examination done. Go for blood tests , throat swab test and viral culture test along with that get chest x-ray done. Start treatment after proper diagnosis. Do warm saline gargles and take steam inhalation. Chew Vitamin C pellet to booster immunity. Keep yourself hydrated and eat soft and liquid meal .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
