Hello,

Each human body reacts or responds differently following an upset. You may notice nothing or anything ranging from soreness to pain or recurring infection or the problem you said.

General advise:

1. Don't self medicate yourself - antibiotics are wonders but only under guidance of the specialist - not everytime you require.
2. Follow simple food habits and throat hygiene.
3. Avoid cold beverages and foods
4. Avoid spicy and oily foods.
5. Do saline gargels frequently
6. Drink water frequently.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr. HIMANSHU DHANAK
