acute tonsillo pharyngitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for your query. In my opinion, you might be having infection of your tonsil along with inflammation of the pharynx. Cough is because of pharyngitis. Cancer sore are common in strep throat infection. Not always there is rashes during throat infection. As u said gastritis also can cause severe cough. If I were your treating doctor, I would have prescribed penicillin antibiotics amoxicillin 500 mg along with clavulunic acid 125 mgcombination for 5 to 7 days. ppi like pantoprazole with domperidone combination drug one before food for 2 weeks. Steam inhalation daily thrice may be helpful. Avoid oily and spicy foods. Small and frequent feeds recommended. Drink boiled water only. Hope my answers have helped you. Thanks.
