Talk to Ent Specialist on Throat Problem

Hx of Nasal Allergy, smoking habits, any reflux problem with or without fever are important to know. If no fever is documented by thermometer start:
#1) Salt water gargles. use Luke warm water.
#2) Take Tab Acetaminophen/Paracetamol 1 gm three or four times per day for atleast 2/3 days.
#3) Take tab Fexofenadine 120mg once per day for 7 days.
#4) Avoid spicy foods, cold and citrus.
Seems like irritative pharyngitis. If fever is documented, then will need anti-biotics. If problem persists even after taking treatment for 3/4 days visit a local physician.

Thank you.

I've not suggested at present to use any antibiotics. Don't think more than 2 weeks use is justified for antibiotics. Discontinue, use Paracetamol, Fexofenadine as have been advised. Start Chlorhexidine Mouth wash 10 mL three times per day, do precautions as suggested and see the response. If with salt water there has been no benefit, leave it too.

Do you have fever?? cough??
