Suggest Treatment For Frequent Sore Throat And Painful Swallowing
I had a sore throat that started about 2 weeks ago. The first week I lost my voice and then sore throat covered my whole throat area it seemed. This week, I have my voice back (except in the mornings), but now I have the sore throat on what feels like my left side only and it is painful to swallow. Should I see my doctor or will this go away on its own. I get sore throats frequently, but they have never lasted this long.

For frequent sore throat and painful swallowing you can take some antibiotic preferably cefadroxyl or azithral after an expert opinion along with some decongestants like wikoryl or diominic-dca. You can take syrup grilinctus-bm or syrup bro-zedex for soothing of your throat. Do warm water gargles and take steam inhalation to reduce the pain and congestion in the throat. If it is persistent you can take some steroid like dexona as your doctor suggests.
