Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sore throat which is due to infection of upper respiratory tract. You should visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get blood and throat swab test done along with paranasal sinus X-ray and chest X-ray and get it examined.

I would suggest you to

- Avoid intake of cold carbonated beverages.
- Take throat lozenges and do warm saline gargles.
- Take antibiotic , flonase if your have sneezing , running nose and congestion.
- Avoid oily and sharp food.


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Dr. Harry Maheshwari
