I think I ve had the flu - very sore throat, runny nose, eyes stinging, low temperature I think... The upper palate towards the back feels very scratchy. I ve taken salt water gargles, Strepsil tablets etc, but these haven t helped. The scratchiness towards my throat area prevents my having a decent night s sleep. What can I do?

Hi and welcome to HCM,
I agree with you that you have flu, also called as UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTION [URTI] Usually, It caused by a viral infection, and will complete its course and then subside. This is usually a week to 10 days, depending on the immunity status of the individual.
Continue with the salt water gargles and strepsils. Additionally you can take T Voltaren 50 mg twice daily and also T augmentin 1 Gram twice daily for 5 days.
All the best!!!
