Brief Answer: Chlorhexidine gargle Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for you query. Based on your symptoms I suspect you to have Pharyngitis. This could be due to bacterial infection. You may have to gargle Chlorhexidine solution thrice daily after food. This will prevent further worsening and cure the infection within a day or two. Also you may need a course of antibiotics like Azithromycin. Consult your treating doctor for the same. Regards,
