General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

Apart from medicine you also need to take general care.It takes sometime to resolve. I would suggest you following things apart from medication:

> 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.

AVOID(till you become healthy again):
> 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.
