Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen the files (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You are having granular pharyngitis like pharynx infection. For that, I suggest taking a decongestant like Phenylephrine or Levocetirizine 5 mg OD for five days. Consult a specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines with their consent.

If pain is more, then Paracetamol 500 mg SOS can be had. Vitamin C 500 mg BD for five days can be taken. An antibiotic course can be had like Cefixime.

1. Salt water garglecan be done with warm water three times a day.

2. Drink more water.

3. Avoid excess spicy foods.

Ear pain could be a referred pain from a sore throat.
