Suggest Remedy For Sore Throat

Hi. I think I may have very mild tonsillitis on the left side of my mouth, my glands are inflamed and it hurts when I swallow. Nothing seems to be working at soothing the pain and I cant eat anything because it hurts when I swallow. Is there any tablets you could suggest?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Sore throat could be caused due to mild bacterial infection. It can affect tonsils and cause tonsillitis. It can present as difficulty and pain during swallowing.
You need not worry much about it as it can be cured. Kindly take the following measures:
1. Do salt water gargling with warm water thrice a day.
2. Take Syrup containing Ambroxyl and Chlorpheniramine maleate combination 5 ml thrice daily.
You can wait for 3 days for the symptoms to subside.
In case you don't get better, then add antibiotic Tablet. Azhithromycin 500mg once a day for 3 days.
Also you can take medicated lozenges to achieve throat soothness.
Do not consume refrigerated items till your symptoms get better.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
Wish you good health.
