Hello,
You may be suffering from chronic pharyngitis with eustachian tube blockage.
Avoid cool drinks and freeze water, smoking, and caffeine drinks.
Use water vapour inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day for five days.
If symptoms do not improve, please consult your ENT specialist who will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
