Hi,

Since when are you suffering with these symptoms?
Are you running fever? body weakness? body pains?
Do you have any past medical conditions?
Similar symptoms in the past?

I would suggest starting antihistamine drugs like tab cetrizine 10mg once daily preferably at night for 2-3 days. The symptoms need to be monitored.

Brief Answer:
Update your symptom...

Detailed Answer:
Apologies for the late reply. I was away from internet this weekend.

It's good to know there is no fever and associated cough. So most likely the problem you had of itching and excessive salivation was due to a benign issue. Did you try tablet cetrizine as suggested earlier? If yes, are you feeling better? If not, may I know if you have any other additional symptoms now?

Brief Answer:
Continue medications...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Good to know you are feeling better and there is no symptoms of fever and cough. I suggest to continue antihistamine (cetrizine) tablets for a few more days. Drink warm water. Avoid cold and refrigerated items.

If throat pain is bothering, you can try gargling with warm water. Alternatively betadine gargles may be tried.

I would not be very worried about these problems as you are getting better. Stay at home and be safe!!
