default
Posted on Sat, 10 Jan 2015
Question: I was diagnosed with acute viral tonsilities a week ago and still have symtoms of a burning sensation on the right tonsil and in back of throat. Could this be from taking too many "cold ezz" tablets or topical anesthetics for the throat. What is this? What do you suggest I do about it?

Brief Answer:
Yes, large doses or overuse of these medications can cause sore throat.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

1. Large doses of zinc supplements such as cold ezee tablets and over use of topical anesthetics may cause a persistent sore throat.

2. By the second week, you are in the post-viral or early bacterial phase. It is better to get the throat examined at this stage.

3. If the burning sensation on the right tonsil and back of the throat is due to the medication, simply discontinuing it will resolve the symptoms in a few days.

4. If the symptoms persist or worsen, get a direct ENT examination.

I hope that I have answered your queries. If you have any further questions, I will be available to answer them.

Regards.

Is it all right to gargle with salt and warm water about 3 times a day.
Like to visit on Christmas Day my family. Is this contagious? My doctor said that it would be all right to visit. There will be an enfant and a 1 1/2 year old. No Fever or coughing or sneezing. Only a slight probability of them catching this the doctor said. Do you agree? Thank you in advance for your reply and the other information.
