Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sore throat along with cough which seems to be due to persistence of upper respiratory tract infection leading to eustachian tube dysfunction.
Need not to worry, I would suggest you to
- Avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of fluids.
- Do warm saline gargles.
- Take proper course of antibiotics along with antiinflammatory medications.
- Apply mist humidifiers in room.
- Avoid cold carbonated beverages.
You should visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get paranasal sinus x-ray done along with blood tests and start treatment after proper diagnosis.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Harry Maheshwari
