Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat
Hello, I forgot my smokes at home today so I ended up smoking a cig that I put out Friday. I ve done this before so I didn t think anything of it but now I have a sore throat as a result. The pain is not excruciating, although enough to spark my curiositiy. Should I be worries?

Hello dear,
sore throat mainly due to viral and bacterial infection.
Take rest and plenty of fluids.
Do warm salted water gargle 3-4 time/day
Do betadine gargle 3-4 time/day.
Use humidifier.
For pain relief use ibuprofen or naproxen.
If it is due to bacterial infection take levofloxacin or azithromycin.
Hope this advice may help you.
Thank you.
Take care.
Get well soon.
