Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. The problem what you are facing is just a reaction causing congestion to the infection of the throat what you had earlier. Kindly do the following to overcome it. 1. Do salt water gargling with warm water and using dispersible aspirin twice daily. 2. Take medications containing mucolytic and decongestants like Bromhexine and Chlorpheniramine maleate. 3. Take throat soothening chewable medications like Lozenges. 4. Avoid consumption of cold items like cool drinks, cold juices or milk shakes and ice creams. Gradually, your symptoms should improve and be back to normal. Consume soft and semi-solid diet till you feel better. Hope the information provided would be helpful. Wish you good health.
