What Causes Persistent Soreness In Throat?

Hi, I ve had a weird throat for a few months on and off every few days. I thought it was acid reflux at first but I m not so sure, My neck feels fat and my throat feels tight I used to suffer with tonsiliitis a lot and this feels like the achey feeling you have when tonsillitis is going away.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
The symptoms what you have been describing appears that you could be having allergic reaction in the pharynx.
Kindly do the following to overcome them.
1. Do salt water gargling with warm water thrice a day.
2. Use steam inhalation to liquefy the mucous for easy drainage.
3. Take mucolytic medications in the form of syrup containing Ambroxyl/Bromhexine as ingredients.
4. Take anti-allergic medication Tablet.Monteleukast with Levocetirizine combination, once a day for a month.
5. Take medicated lozenges for throat soothening effect when necessary.
Strictly avoid consumption of cold items like cold drinks and ice cream.
Your symptoms should get better soon by adopting to above measures.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
