Hello
Thanks for consulting Hcm
I have read your query . As far as sore throat is concerned this can be due to strep throat or viral infection . For this I will suggest you to consult Ent surgeon for clinical examination and treatment . I meantime do warm saline rinses 2 to 3 times a day and you can take medicine like Azithromycin and allegra by consulting with local doctor .
Hope this will help you .
