General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi
Welcome.
I would suggest you to drink plenty of water especially warm water. Warm salt water gargaling 3 to 4 times a day. Sucking lozenges like strepsil or cofsil will be beneficial. You can take table spoon of honey with warm water every morning. With this measures your symptoms should reduce.
Chest x ray, sputum for AFB, complete blood count investigation needed to be done

This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.

I hope this suggestion might be of some help to you. Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Take care.
