What Causes Sore Throat With A Feeling Of Roughness?

I am a 24 year old male, 134 pounds, and have not had the symptoms of an illness in at least two years. The back of my throat is sore and there is a somewhat rough feel as far back as my tongue can reach. My left tonsil is mildly inflamed, but the soreness is in the area of the right, which appears normal. My lymph nodes feel normal on my neck and under my arms. Temperature is 97.5 (within normal range for me), blood pressure is 80/110 (also within normal range for me), and I am experiencing mild nausea.

Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

This could be simple flu resulting in such symptoms. I would suggest you following things:
> Take hot water in a cup, add 1 table spoon salt in it. Perform gargles (mouth wash) with it three times a day for at least 3 days. It will give soothing effect.
> Take boiling water in a pot, put your head over the steam and cover whole with a sheet. Take deep breaths in it.(Avoid getting closer else it might cause burn). Do this twice a day.

AVOID:
> Chilled water
> Drinks
> Spicy food

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
