I'm dealing with a lot of discomfort because I chewed a pudin hara tablet without water, and now my throat feels really irritated and swollen. Swallowing water has become quite difficult. What should I do to get some relief from this? Can you help?

-I understand this is concerning, but it's important to stay calm. Warm liquids and salt water gargles can help soothe the irritation. If the swelling persists or worsens, please seek immediate medical attention."

I've been dealing with a sore throat since last week, and it was really red. My uvula got swollen, and it felt like it was touching my tongue. Now I'm feeling better, but my uvula still looks bigger than usual, and the tip seems black. Plus, my right tonsil is a bit swollen. Should I be worried about these symptoms?

You may have had a case of acute pharyngitis with uvulitis, and now you are experiencing some residual inflammation. To help reduce the swelling and inflammation, you can try using a throat spray containing benzocaine to numb the area and reduce discomfort. Additionally, you can take ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain and inflammation. Gargling with warm salt water several times a day can also help with the swelling and discomfort. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to see an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.
