Suggest Remedy For Sore Throat

I have an extremely sore throat. Can not swallow what so ever. Everything I try to swallow turns into a huge glob of mucus and I end up throwing up. I have been on Augmentin ES (liquid), magic mouthwash and a Medrol Dosepak. I have a history of throat cancer.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for throat cancer.
Do following things for better symptomatic relief in sore throat.
1. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
2. Do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
3. Avoid oily and spicy food. Avoid hard to chew food.
4. Start antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti inflammatory (paracetamol) combination twice daily.
You will mostly improve with all these in 2-3 days.
If not improving then consult ENT doctor and get done endoscopic examination of throat.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
