Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am facing acute sore throat for the last one month and now feeling pain also in the left side from centre of the throat. I am doing gargle with salt water and taken TUSQ D also but no good relief. In addition to this I am facing gastic problem and constipation also.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com

Only this syrup and gargling will not help you completely, it say some kind of throat infection maybe acute pharyngitis or tonsillitis and you need antibiotics for that otherwise this may progress. Are you allergic to any particular medicines, so that I will prescribe you some medication?

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

No, I am not allergic to any medicine. Is there any chance that this could be due to my gastric problem and constipation? Whole day I keep burping and get relief from chest heaviness after burping.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Yes, gastric problem do cause throat issues but most likely they are on a chronic basis. In this acute condition, it is most likely because of your throat infection which is very common in this changing weather. Avoid intake of any cold food, cold drinks, ice cream, air conditioner, etc. Try to sit in the sunlight daily for few hours. Drink lots of lukewarm water, juice and maintain proper hydration.
