I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing pain while swallowing. This can be uncomfortable and concerning, especially since it started with a cough and slight cold.

The medication you took, Viscodyne D Syrup, contains ingredients that help relieve cough and allergic symptoms, but it may not fully address throat pain or inflammation. Pain while swallowing could be due to throat irritation or an infection such as pharyngitis or tonsillitis.

Here are some steps you can take:

• Stay hydrated by drinking warm fluids like water, herbal teas, or broths.
• Gargle with warm salt water several times a day to soothe throat irritation.
• Avoid irritants such as smoking, alcohol, or very cold drinks.
• Use throat lozenges or sprays to ease pain if available.
• Rest your voice and avoid straining your throat.

If the pain worsens, you develop a high fever, difficulty swallowing saliva, or breathing problems, seek medical attention promptly.

Since your symptoms persist despite medication, I recommend consulting an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist. They can examine your throat, determine the cause of your pain, and suggest appropriate treatment.

If you experience severe symptoms or emergency signs, please contact emergency services immediately.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand that you are having pain while swallowing, and it started with a cough and a slight cold.
