Question 1

It's been four days since I tested positive and my throat is really sore. It's so painful that even drinking water is tough. Could you suggest any remedy that might help with this?

Accepted Answer

To soothe a sore throat and make hydration easier, try these remedies: gargle with warm salt water (14 teaspoon salt in 8 ounces of water), use a humidifier to add moisture to the air, sip on warm, non-caffeinated liquids like tea or broth

Question 2

I'm dealing with a dry nose and mouth after recovering from Covid-19. I'm drinking about 3 liters of water every day, but the issue still persists, especially at night. I'm also taking a 0.5 mg anxit tablet for anxiety. What else can I do to get some relief?

Accepted Answer

In addition to staying hydrated, you can try using a saline nasal spray for your dry nose. Also, consider using a humidifier in your room at night to help with the dryness. If the symptoms persist, you can consult with your doctor about using a medication like pilocarpine (Salagen) to stimulate saliva production.

Question 3

I've been struggling with some inflamed lymphoid tissue at the base of my tongue for about 12 weeks now, and nothing I try seems to work. What would you suggest is the best way to treat this and finally get some relief?

Accepted Answer

Immediate action taken by giving warm water is good.

However, Dettol Antiseptic Liquid is toxic if ingested.

Possible symptoms may include:

Nausea
Vomiting
Abdominal pain
Burns to the mouth, throat, and digestive tract

Monitor your relative's condition closely.

Seek immediate medical attention if symptoms worsen or new ones appear.
