Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat
Question: I did cocaine two days ago and it hurts when I swallow...Is it going away? hurts a lot when I eat food also
Brief answer....inflammation caused by cocaine
Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
Cocaine in itself is a very corrosive substance which leads to inflammation in the inner lining of your throat resulting sore throat.
Although it would be all right in few days,persistent use of cocaine can be very harmful to your throat.
Treatment at the moment consists of...
Gargling with warm saline 3-4 times a day.
Avoiding ice,spicy foods and fold drinks.
Take more of hot liquids.
You should be all right in next 3-5 days.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
