This throat problem i can manage but i am afraid for fever which usually happens after throat infection ... I dun knw why it happend .. i din't consumed any cold item ....
Thanks for your query.
Throat irritation could be either due to a viral infection or due to any irritants consumed along with food. In either of the cases there are chances of secondary infections with bacteria which can lead to high grade fever and make you sick.
Do gargle with antiseptic solutions like CHLORHEXIDINE twice daily after food. This will kill bacteria existing and reduce the chances of bacterial infections. Also do take Benadryl if the throat irritation is more and unbearable.
Watch the progress of symptoms closely and if you the symptoms do not improve in the next 2-3 days, consult your physician for other treatment.
Hope I answered your query. Please let me know if there are any other concerns.
Good luck for your exams...
1) Himalaya septilin twice a day. (for 2 days)
2) Nimesulide twice a day. (for 2 days)
3) Solvin Decongestant tablet twice a day (for 2 days)
4) Azikem 500 once a day (for 3 days)
5) Celin twice a day (for 2 days)
Thanks for writing back.
You can continue the above medications along with gargling CHLORHEXIDINE as advised above.
Wish you good health.
Regards,

MD My 5 year old son had strep pharyngitis 2 weeks ago and was treated with keflex x 10days. Midway through the keflex course he c/o lower bilateral abdominal pain although he would first point to the right lower quadrant. Yesterday he developed a fever, headache, sore throat, and abdominal pain. No N&V, no diarrhea, no one else is sick in the house. He was seen by his PCP who did a throat culture, UA and culture. His UA showed +4 ketones, trace blood, +1 protein, negative glucose, and specific gravity of 1.010. We were given a second course of Keflex and sent to the ED where they did another UA, CBC, and CMP. Glucose 116. UA still had +4 ketones but no other abnormalities. Today he is febrile 101 to 102 F, with abdominal pain which is lower bilateral but a little more on the right side. The ED said that he could have an appendicitis brewing and to keep an eye on him. The also said that his urine did not look dehydrated and his electrolytes looked normal so they are not sure why his ketones are so high. Any thoughts?

MD I am 5 10 , 195 lbs, 24 years old male.... So sunday night I was getting a scratchy throat, but I was not worried, woke up next morning and had a sore throat, went to work it was manageable, asked fellow employees why my throat was only sore on one side. Monday night I started to get cold chills and a fever..Went to bed and woke up next morning with an even worse sore throat on my right side only. I was tired and had body aches, so I thought it was the flu or something, took some pain killers and went to work, Tuesday evening at work I was getting even more cold chills the night before , so I went home early and took a hot bath to warm me up, some tylenol and tried to sleep. Wednesday morning, same routine, right side of throat hurts even worse, where I can barely swallow liquids with out my throat hurting. So I took some thera-flu the prescribed dosage and continue to take it but still no results, but I happened to look in the mirror with a flashlight right next to my right tonsil it looks as if it got infected and there was white stuff stuck in there. I tried to remove it with a q-tip but was unsuccessful, not only did it hurt but it felt as if it was stuck in.
