I've been having this sore throat for the past day, and it really hurts when I sleep or take a sip of water. It's pretty uncomfortable and I'm starting to worry a bit. Could this be a sign of something I should be concerned about, or maybe something I need to do to make it better?

Throat pain that worsens during sleep and while drinking water could be due to inflammation or infection. I recommend taking ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief and inflammation. Additionally, you can try lozenges containing benzocaine (e.g., Cepacol) to help numb the throat. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If the pain persists for more than a few days or if you develop other symptoms, please follow up with a healthcare provider.

I'm a bit worried because I just realized I've been taking Montek fx for the past month, but my doctor actually prescribed Montek lc for my ear infection last year. He said Montek lc would help prevent colds. I'm concerned if taking Montek fx instead is an issue, or are these two medications essentially the same? Could you help me understand if I need to be worried about this switch?
both are same group of drug but montec lc causes drowsiness while montec fx is nor
