What Does Pain In The Throat And Sternum Indicate?
Hi, For seven weeks now I have had a painful throat and pain across sternum, radiating towards the small of may back. Sometimes it feels like a burning sensation similar to that with indigestion but it is not. My voice is also hoarse, I have a slight cough and phlegm. Any ideas? Thanks

Hello and welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms seem to be related to tonsillitis.
I suggest you to take anti inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day and gargle with salty water.
If you dont get better you should take prescribed antibiotics.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
