Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You are absolutely right. Your symptoms are suggestive of viral influenza infection of posterior pharynx. I suggest you to take Benadryl like Phenylephrine containing medication or Levocetirizine. You can be prescribed vitamin C. Take one tsp turmeric powder with milk daily. Avoid excess spicy foods. Investigate with aso titre and CBC as well.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr Parth
