I ve had a cough and sore throat with pain when i swallow for the past 4 days. i have had a constant cough for the past 3 days and today i have devloped a lump in my throat that hurts to swallow. what might this be and how can i treat it?
The symptoms seem to be related to a cold or flu. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms. I also suggest using a throat spray for antibacterial properties. I recommend to drink liquids and gargle with salty water.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
