Question: Hello Doctor,

I am having the below symptoms.

1) In the evening time i feel something is strucked in my throat and feeling dryness in throat.
2) Feeling little feverish & light headache.

I already have GERD and i am taking Omeprezol before food always. I already contacted Gastro specialist and he suggested to me to take Omeprezol.

But now i am not sure why i am getting this light throat pain and feeling a kind of struckness in throat only in evening and morning time.

Brief Answer:
seems to be sinusitis

Detailed Answer:


Hi,



I have gone through your question and understand your concerns that you are having throat pain. I would like to ask you few more details.


Is there any difficulty in swallowing ?
Is your head-ache associates with nasal blockage ?


Kindly get back to me with the details so that I am better able to help you.


Based on your clinical details, it appears to be sinusitis causing sore throat (post nasal drip- sinus secretions trickling the throat ) (pharyngitis) and head-ache.


I suggest the following measures, to overcome your head-ache.

1. steam inhalation twice daily.

2. Take anti allergic medication like tab. levocet+ d (citrizine +phynylehrine) one at bed time.

3. TAB.dolo 650mg (paracetamol)for head-ache.

4. cap.amoxcillin 500 mg thrice daily (medical prescription needed).


In case of persistence, needs to be evaluated with ent surgeon to rule out other causes.

I have seen reports, urine test is normal and one of liver enzyme value is elevated (Alkaline phosphatase), it can be due to alcohol consumption or any inflammation of liver.
Since all your other values are normal do not worry about much But discuss about this with your doctor.

Hope this answers your question, if you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.


Wishing you good health.

Brief Answer:
laryngoscopy.

Detailed Answer:


Hello again,


Thanks for considering my answer and for your follow up.


Fever with throat pain suggests infection. You need detailed ent examination and laryngoscopy (to visualise deep part of throat and voice box) for the exact diagnosis and treatment.


Kindly evaluate.

All the best. Take care.
