What medicines can I take for throat irritation post LASIK surgery?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. I have read your query and can understand your concern .

Here are my observations from the information provided. If I was your treating physician, I would recommend you over-the-counter cough syrups like Syrup Grilinctus (contains Dextromethorphan hydrobromide, Chlorpheniramine maleate, Guaifenesin and Ammonium chloride). Take one teaspoon syrup of about 5 ml three times a day for one week. Please do warm water gargle twice daily. It is relatively safe and has no addictive ingredients. It will give you some symptomatic relief. For mouth ulcer you can use Zytee-RB gel (combination of Choline salicylate and Benzalkonium chloride) to be applied over the ulcer in the mouth. Thank you and take care. Regards.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Thanks for writing back with an update. Nice to know your mouth ulcer has healed and please continue taking vitamin. It is early to judge that Grilinctus is causing your dry cough. However, you can stop Grilinctus and take Cetirizine tablet 10 mg at night for a week. This will give you to get relief from dry cough. If Cetirizine is not working for your dry cough then you can take Fexofenadine which is Allegra 120 mg once daily for a week. It looks like you are having symptoms from cold weather. Please take precautions for cold and avoid dust and pollution. Please continue to do warm water gargle twice daily. Thank you and take care. Regards
