Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sore throat, congestion and blisters on throat. Well these symptoms are due to sinusitis and upper respiratory tract infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles 2-3 times a day. You should take steam inhalation twice a day. Maintain proper hygiene. Drink plenty of water and liquids. Take paracetamol for fever and headache. Maintain proper hygiene and drink plenty of fluids. Consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics amoxiclav at least for 10 days along with decongestant. Doctor may order test like swab test , blood test to rule out condition like acid reflux and strep throat.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
