Hello,
Drink lots of water .
You must get your throat examined by ENT specialist to get tonsillar hypertrophy (enlargement) ruled out.
If ok then you get your nose examined to see if there is any infection in nose and sinuses from which infection /discharge is falling on the throat.which is causing the sore throat .
And the most importantly take care of reflux of food from stomach which is more in night -- so take
Tab. Proton pump inhibitors +Prokinetics before meals
Syp. antacid gel before meals
multivitamin twice daily
Keep head end of bed elevated.
Avoid alcohol, Smoking
Do brisk walking daily
Go for walk after dinner
Avoid spicy food
Avoid late night coffee
