Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat

Hello. I ve got a sore throat but it seems higher between my nose and throat, rather than just at the back. I feel like there s something blocking it and although I try to cough/snort, nothing seems to clear the airway and it feels more and more bruised. When I breathe through my nose, I feel that there isnt much space in the airways. I ve tried throat lozenges but these havent helped at all and I also dont have any other flu like symptoms, i.e runny nose or temperature.

Greetings Sir/Madam.
-As for as your sore throat is concerned, try out Gargling with salt in Warm water 3 times a day/ use Mouthwash containing Povidone Iodine, Chlorhexidine.

- Some of your statements viz. "Feel like something blocking it" , "Nothing seems to clear the airway" , "feel that there isnt much space in the airways" , "seems higher between my nose and throat, rather than just at the back" - -> All seems to suggest some nasal airway obstruction with either Polyp (an abnormal growth of tissue projecting inside nose and paranasal sinuses usually accompanied by allergic rhinitis) or any mass lesion.

It's advisable to consult a ENT surgeon in order to rule out condition other than Polyp.

Hope it helped you.
