Brief Answer:
follow up .
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for follow up.
As it is acute onset, currently I suggest gargles with salted lukewarm water added
peppermint oil 3 times a day.
Consume soft diet and avoid spices, non veg stuffs at present.
Tab. ibuprofen ( 400 mg ) with antacid ranitidine ( 150 mg ) morning and evening
after meals will cover possible minor inflammation.
Follow up after 2 days or early as per the requirement.
