I have been experiencing throat pain and a loss of taste for the last two days; what medicine should I take to relieve these symptoms?

Asked by Female, 30 · 16 days ago

Your symptoms of throat pain and loss of taste suggest a mild viral infection, such as a common cold, flu, or potentially COVID-19. To relieve the throat pain, you can take over-the-counter generic pain relievers like paracetamol or ibuprofen, and try warm saltwater gargles. The loss of taste typically recovers on its own as the infection clears. Please stay well-hydrated and rest. I highly recommend taking a rapid COVID-19 test as a sensible precaution. If you develop worsening symptoms, high fever, or difficulty breathing, please consult a doctor in person for a proper evaluation.
