Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since your symptoms are for 2 days only, possibility of viral pharyngitis (inflammation of pharynx) is more likely.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
2. Avoid oily and spicy food. Avoid junk food.
3. Take beclofen for hiccups.
4. Take levocetrizine and paracetamol combination twice daily.
5. Do you warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
You are will mostly improve with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
