I have throat pain while swallowing and it seems like a throat infection. What medicine should I take?

Asked by Female, 28 · 1 day ago

For throat pain while swallowing, start with symptomatic relief. You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Paracetamol or Ibuprofen to ease the pain. Warm salt-water gargles, throat lozenges, and staying hydrated with warm fluids will also help soothe your throat. Please avoid taking antibiotics without a doctor's prescription, as most throat infections are viral and antibiotics will not cure them. If your symptoms are severe, accompanied by a high fever, difficulty breathing, or persist for more than 3 to 4 days, please consult a healthcare professional for a physical exam.
