Hi Dear,

welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe throat pain, chest discomfort and difficulty breathing which is because of viral infection/ upper respiratory infection. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist once and get it examined. Doctor may order blood tests and x-ray chest. Doctor may order pulmonary function tests to detect level of infection. Get ECG done to check chest discomfort causes and monitor cardiac functions. Do warm saline gargles three times daily. Taking decongestant nasal spray can also be relieving. If you feel pain and discomfort in body or throat taking painkillers like Ibuprofen can be relieving. You should take hot milk boiled with half a teaspoon of turmeric. Drink luke warm water on daily basis.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
