Hospitalized For Epiglottis, Took Heavy Antibiotics. Throat Mildly Sore, Uncomfortable. Should I Be Concerned ?
Hi. 1 month ago I was hospitalized for epigolttits. I was given iv antibiotics, steroids, fluids. After 3 days I was sent home. I took heavy antibiotics for a couple of weeks. My ENT says my esophagus looked normal when I saw him a couple of weeks ago. The last several days I have noticed my throat is mildly sore when I swallow, and it is uncomfortBle to yawn. Should I be concerned?

thanks for your query
I thinks its just a mild type of pharyngitis not related with previous attack of epiglottitis
just observe for change of voice, breathlessness, high grade fever if occur and consult emidiately.
Now just take anti inflammatory drug like tab Chymoral plus or Emanzen DP
DO salt water or antiseptic gargles
Avoid Cold and junk foods, smoking and alcohol.
Thanking you.
