Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat, Hoarse Voice And Runny Nose
Five days ago had a scratchy sore throat and hoarse voice. Then excessive runny nose and flu-like symptoms for a day. Now I have a deep soreness in left armpit that was not there before. Am thinking swollen gland...do I need treatment for this? Am currently travelling out of country. Thanks!

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sore throat, hoarse voice and runny nose which is due to upper respiratory infection due to poor immunity of your body. It could be due to spread of infection from throat area to vocal cords. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid use of spicy, sharp oily and fried food substances. Apply mist humidifiers in room. You should take cough expectorants. You should do warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day. You should avoid cold carbonated beverages. You should visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get chest x-ray done along with pulmonary function tests done so as to detect level of infection and treatment can be started accordingly. You should take throat soothing agents. You should take combination of antibiotic Levofloxacin along with antihistamine such as Levocetirizine.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
