Brief Answer: gargle, steam inhalation, nasal spray, montelukast Detailed Answer: Hi, I went through the query and understood your concern. For sore throat and irritation do warm water gargle and steam inhalation three to four times a day. Along with this NSAID like aceclofenac will help you for now. If you develop throat or upper respiratory tract infection then antibiotic is required. These are for acute management of your problem. Since you are known asthmatic, the chance of getting allergic rhinitis is upto 80%. So the symptoms of nasal secretion, itching, throat irritation all can be associated. So continue nasal spray directed towards lateral wall of nostrils. Mantelukast once daily will help you in preventing both asthma and allergic reactions. Try to avoid antihistamines without chest examination as this can solidify the secretion and can increase the asthma symptoms. Let the HEPA run which will help in preventing the allergens. Hope this information helps you. Feel free to ask for any further queries. I will be glad to answer them. Wish you good health. Regards
