I'm really struggling with a sore throat and it's becoming hard to swallow my saliva. I think it might be a bacterial infection. Do you have any suggestions on what medication I should take to feel better?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Throat pain and difficulty swallowing saliva could be a sign of a bacterial infection like strep throat. It's important to consult with a doctor who may prescribe an antibiotic like amoxicillin or azithromycin. In the meantime, you can use throat lozenges and warm saline gargles for relief.

I've been struggling for a while with some leftover symptoms from the flu I had about 3 weeks back. The fever and body aches are gone, but the sore throat and ear ache just won't quit. Now, I've also got this annoying muscle pain in my neck and shoulders. I tried taking Cataflam, and it seemed to work wonders for about 2-3 days, but now it does nothing, even when I take one every day. There's still a bit of a stuffy nose hanging around too. It's weird because I don't have tonsils anymore, so I'm just wondering what's going on. Any advice on what this could be or what I should do next?
That needs proper evaluation and treatment, visit ENT doctor for appropriate management.
