Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern.
Some advices that I can give to you:
- Gargle with warm salt water to help reduce swelling and relieve discomfort.
-Prevent
dehydration. Fluids may help thin secretions and soothe an irritated throat. Hot fluids, such as tea or soup, may help decrease
throat irritation.
-Use a vaporizer or humidifier in your bedroom.
Warm or cool mist may help you feel more comfortable by soothing the swollen air passages.
-Do not smoke or use other tobacco products and avoid
secondhand smoke.
-Use nonprescription throat lozenges.
-Use a decongestant or a steroid
nasal spray if you have a stuffy nose.These medicines make breathing easier by shrinking swollen mucous membranes in the nose, allowing air to pass through. They also help relieve a runny nose and postnasal drip which can cause a
sore throat.
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
