Do I really need a COVID-19 test for a scratchy throat if I have no other symptoms, and what safe medicine can I take for my throat irritation instead of Combiflam, considering I take Azilura 40 for high blood pressure?

Asked by Female, 40 · 6 days ago

It is always safest to take a rapid COVID-19 test, as a scratchy throat can be an early symptom even without others. Since you take Azilura 40 for high blood pressure, you should avoid Combiflam, as it contains ibuprofen, which can raise blood pressure and interfere with your medication. Instead, paracetamol is a much safer option for throat discomfort. For gentle relief, try warm salt water gargles or soothing throat lozenges. Please consult your healthcare provider if your symptoms worsen.
