Hi Vic.kay,
Thanks for writing your query.
You should get yourself examined by an ENT specialist and have a Throat swab culture done.
Taking antiallergy with decongestants and anti-inflammatory along with appropiate antibiotic will be of help. Also do warm saline gargles.
I hope this is of help to you. If you have any furthur doubts, I will be happy to help.
Thanks.
