I've been dealing with a really bad sore throat for the past two days, and it's so painful that I can't even drink water. To make things worse, I also have a cold. I took a citrizin tablet last night, but I still don't feel any better. Could you give me some advice on what I should do?

View allI've had this throat ulcer for three days now and I'm on medication for it, with tablets like olise, cipt, cetgo, and zincoplex. I'm just not sure how long it's going to take for the ulcers to heal. Plus, I'm struggling to speak properly now, and even when I try to shout, my voice is really faint. Should I be worried about my voice, or is this just a normal part of having a throat problem like mine? Is my treatment moving in the right direction?
You are recieving right treatment no need to worry give some time rest your voice untill you recover consume warm foods,visit ENT doctor for evaluating further.

I'm really struggling with a post-nasal drip that's been giving me a sore throat for the last few days. It's making it so hard to sleep because of the pressure in my ear. I've tried stuff like Strepsils and gargling with salt water, which helps a bit but doesn't last. I've also been taking 5ml of Ambroxol Hydrochloride at night and added Ascoril LS as well as Maxtra P over the last couple of days since I thought maybe that's what's causing the sore throat. I don't have a runny nose, but I'm living in a place that gets dusty even with window filters. I'm a bit allergic too... Could all this dust and stuff be part of the problem? What else can I try for some more long-term relief?
You seem to be experiencing symptoms of post nasal drip with a sore throat, difficulty sleeping, and ear pressure. Since you have already tried some home remedies and medications, I would recommend the following treatment plan for you: 1. Continue with Ambroxol Hydrochloride 5ml once every night before sleep to help with mucus clearance. 2. Continue with Ascoril LS+ 5ml to help with cough and congestion. 3. Switch from Maxtra P to Levocetirizine 5mg once daily to help with allergies and post nasal drip. 4. Additionally, you can try using a saline nasal spray to help clear out your nasal passages. 5. It's also important to address the dust in your living environment by regularly cleaning and dusting to reduce allergen exposure. 6. If your symptoms persist or worsen, consider consulting with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management. I hope this treatment plan helps alleviate your symptoms.

I took a pudin hara pearl and it ended up getting stuck in my throat, bursting possibly because of dryness. After feeling an intense peppermint sensation in my throat and nose, I'm left with this roughness and dryness, feeling like there's something still there. What should I do about this?
For a running nose, consider trying: Tablets: 1. Loratadine (Claritin) - non-drowsy, 24-hour relief 2. Cetirizine (Zyrtec) - fast-acting, 24-hour relief 3. Fexofenadine (Allegra) - non-drowsy, 24-hour relief Nasal Sprays (milder than Otrivin): 1. Azelastine (Astelin) 2. Oxymetazoline (Afrin) - use for only 3-5 days Always consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking any new medication, especially if you have underlying medical conditions or take other medications.
