Suggest Medication For Sore Throat
I developed a sore throat ten days ago. A week ago I lost my voice completely and this lasted six days. A few days before my voice returned I developed a cough. In the past 24 hours I have developed a tightening in the chest and when I lean forward I have a sharp pain in the middle of chest.
